A Box of Canned Corn is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Corn. It is a bulk way to carry and store a vegetable that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned corn are a rare find in grocery stores, cafeteria kitchens and survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of corn lowers hunger by 16 and thirst by 4. It holds 315 calories, which is a lot for a vegetable.
The corn is good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. It is also a flexible cooking ingredient. An opened can adds 16 hunger to a Soup, Stew, Stir Fry, Salad, Rice or Pasta dish. It adds 8 to a Burger, a Hotdog, an Omelette, a Taco or a Burrito. Canned corn can also be added to fishing chum as bait.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned corn suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the corn stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be used.
Locations
A Box of Canned Corn is a rare find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold one now and then. Cafeteria kitchen shelves, general stores and the shelves at Gigamart turn one up a little less often. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens hold one only once in a long while.
