A standard 15-ounce can of corn contains roughly the equivalent of about 1.5 to 2 ears of corn. This estimate is based on the fact that a typical ear of corn yields about 3/4 cup of kernels, and a 15-ounce can holds approximately 1.5 cups of corn kernels. Therefore, one can usually contains between one and a half to two ears of corn, depending on the size of the ears and whether the corn is drained or not

. In summary:

• Average kernels per ear: about 3/4 cup
• Corn in a 15-ounce can: about 1.5 cups
• Ears of corn per can: approximately 1.5 to 2 ears

This is a practical guideline for cooking and recipe conversions when substituting fresh corn for canned corn.
