Why are corn (maize) grains canned in a liquid?
Whenever I buy canned corn grains, it always comes canned with a liquid, and the first thing I do is to pour that down the drain.

I don't think I have ever seen any recipe that calls for using it for anything.

Why not just can the corn in a dry environment instead, thus certainly saving on weight and possibly also volume? What purpose does the liquid serve?
