How to Cook Dried Corn
Long before the invention of the refrigerator or freezer, says Old Fashioned Living.com, people preserved vegetables through the drying method. Even today, if your pantry is stocked with dried vegetables and legumes, you always have access to the healthy goodness of vitamin-packed produce, whether you have had time to grocery shop or not. A nice supply of dried corn is most convenient and is is especially easy to rehydrate and prepare. Once re-hydrated, corn can be used in casseroles, breads, salads or, best of all, simply seasoned and served as a wholesome side dish.
