Can You Freeze Canned Corn? Answer: Indeed you can!
I have a lot of frozen corn, so I would say it is the perfect time to stock up. You can store perfectly fresh corn in an open container using a protective wrapping for up to 12 months in most freezer conditions.
For added protection, seal containers. If you use a sealing machine, place a piece of common tin foil over the container opening before adding the lid and securing tightly. Your freezer temperature should be set at about 0°F (-18°C). Of course, don’t forget to mark what’s inside the container; date; original contents; name or initials; size or date frozen on top of sealed tape or covering material.
