Kernel corn is the plain American term for corn that's been cut off the cob — the individual kernels you find frozen in bags or canned on supermarket shelves. It distinguishes the stripped, processed form from corn on the cob or creamed corn. Simple and utilitarian, it shows up in recipes and grocery lists across the Midwest and South.
