We don't get that in my area. We produce a lot of lettuce for export, so 
those do not get in.

Canned are boiled already. I assume at least part of the boiling happens 
inside the can as part of the preserving process.

The frozen grain bags are just separated from the cob, then frozen as 
soon and fast as possible. So it needs several minutes of boiling before 
eating.

Oh. No idea about the ash. Never heard it.
