Canned Corn is a sealed tin of sweet corn that keeps without spoiling. It is one of the most energy rich canned vegetables, and it suits a long term food store. It needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Corn (Open). The corn can be eaten as it is or added to soups, stews, salads, rice, pasta and tacos. It can also go into fishing chum. Canned Corn is a common find in grocery stores, general stores and kitchens.
Eating
The corn is eaten once the can is open. The opened can lowers hunger by 16 and thirst by 4. It holds 315 calories, mostly from 70 grams of carbohydrates, with 7 grams of protein. That is a lot of energy for a canned vegetable, which helps keep body weight up.
The corn is good hot, so heating it before eating gives a small mood lift. Compared with other canned vegetables, corn is among the best. Canned Peas (Open) also lowers hunger by 16 but holds 280 calories. Canned Carrots (Open) lowers hunger by only 12 and holds 10.5 calories.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage
A sealed can of corn keeps without spoiling, so it can wait on a shelf for as long as needed. Once opened, the corn stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.

Canned Corn is a common find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold it about a third of the time. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry it fairly often.
