Farmland Snow White Corn Review

Another quick fix meal that can also double up as an ingredient! As Alton Brown says, no unitaskers! Heh. I love Alton Brown. :D

*If you're a home cook with even a tinge of science geekiness to you and haven't discovered Alton Brown, go check out his Goodeats series neowwwww!

Farmland Snow White Corn

Atas packaging that promises a sweet sweet deal

If you don't like butter with your corn, you ain't human

Hmmmm not as white as I'd expect...


Taste Review

Taste - 7/10
Tbh I actually expected more out of Farmland's corn. The packaging just shouts SWEET goodness! But in the end the sweetness rating I'd say is about a 7/10. It's not as sweet as another brand of frozen corn which I've had and which has slipped my mind now. A bit disappointing actually. The corn isn't actually bad, it just didn't live up to my hyped up expectations. 

Texture - 7/10
Decent corn texture cos well, it's corn! Corny a not? hur hur hur. Some corns kinda pop in the mouth while most are kinda ok. Good, just not wow.

Cost - 6/10
I got it on offer at NTUC at... I think $2.85 for 400g. Pretty decent price. It can't beat the NTUC housebrand of course but that one... you don't even a smidgen of sweetness. You can find the Fairprice Corn Kernels review here. 

Tasting Notes
Nothing much to add to the above. It's got good taste, texture and sweetness. Its decent, just not super. Like all things white, it promises a lot but delivers ok. (Geddit?! Hur hur hur)
Very handy to have in the kitchen since you can add it to all sorts of dishes like pastas, salads and corn fritters. But if you're looking to make a bowl of steamed corn with butter (Heaven!)... You've to look elsewhere.



TLDR version
Decent corn to keep in your freezer to accompany dishes but not as a main star on its own.
