Frozen Corn Kernel

Vietnamese Frozen Corn Kernels – Premium Quality for Global Export

Origin

Vietnamese frozen corn kernels (frozen sweet corn) are renowned for their natural high sweetness, golden-yellow color, uniform kernels, crisp texture, and retained fresh flavor after thawing, thanks to the tropical climate and advanced freezing technology. Vietnam is one of the major exporters of frozen sweet corn in Asia with strong growth. Key production regions include:

• Mekong Delta (Tien Giang, Dong Thap, An Giang, Long An): Largest production area with high yields and proximity to export ports.
• Southeast region (Dong Nai, Binh Duong): Large-scale cultivation for export.
• Central Highlands (Lam Dong, Gia Lai): High-quality sweet corn due to cooler climate.

Production Process

1. Cultivation of specialized sweet corn varieties (harvested at the milk stage, about 70-85 days after planting).
2. Hand-harvesting in the early morning to preserve freshness and sweetness.
3. Washing, removing kernels from the cob (dehulling/kernel cutting).
4. Quick blanching (brief hot water treatment) to preserve color, crispness, and nutrients.
5. Shock freezing using IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) at -35°C to -40°C.
6. Packaging and storage at -18°C.
7. Quality inspection, fumigation (if required), and pesticide residue testing.
