About Charred corn on the cob

Charred Corn on the Cob is a smoky, flavorful dish that highlights the natural sweetness of fresh corn. Often associated with Mexican or Southwestern cuisine, this street-food favorite is prepared by grilling whole corn cobs until slightly blackened, giving them a caramelized, nutty taste. The charred exterior contrasts beautifully with the juicy kernels inside. Typically served with toppings like lime, chili powder, butter, or crumbled cheese, it can be customized to balance indulgence and nutrition. Corn itself is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. However, additions like butter or high-sodium seasonings can increase calorie and fat content, so mindful preparation is key to keeping it nutritious. Its versatility and vibrant flavors make it an ideal side dish or snack for outdoor gatherings and summer barbecues.
