Experience the authentic taste of South American cuisine with Tradiciones Andinas Choclo Entero, featuring whole kernels of traditional Andean corn that bring the rich culinary heritage of the Andes mountains directly to your kitchen. This frozen corn variety showcases the distinctive large, tender kernels that have been a cornerstone of Peruvian, Bolivian, and Ecuadorian cooking for centuries, offering home cooks an opportunity to recreate beloved Latin American dishes with genuine ingredients.
Choclo, also known as Peruvian corn or Cusco corn, stands apart from regular sweet corn with its remarkably large kernels and unique starchy, slightly sweet flavor profile. The whole kernel format preserves the corn's natural texture and allows for versatile cooking applications. These frozen kernels maintain their authentic taste and nutritional value while providing convenient year-round access to this traditional ingredient. The corn's dense, meaty texture makes it perfect for hearty soups, stews, and grain-based dishes that are central to Andean cuisine.
This versatile ingredient shines in classic preparations like anticuchos, where it serves as a traditional side dish, or in hearty locro stews that warm the soul. Try adding choclo entero to quinoa salads for extra substance, or simply boil and serve with a sprinkle of salt and fresh cheese as a satisfying snack. The corn pairs beautifully with potatoes, beans, and native Andean herbs, making it an excellent addition to vegetarian and meat-based dishes alike. Whether you're exploring South American cooking or seeking to add authentic flavors to your culinary repertoire, this traditional Andean corn delivers genuine taste and cultural connection.
