Cooked corn on the cob is a simple yet flavorful dish enjoyed worldwide, often associated with American, Latin American, and Indigenous cuisines. This summertime favorite is made by boiling or grilling fresh corn still attached to its cob. A single ear of cooked corn is naturally sweet and provides a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion. It’s rich in essential nutrients such as vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants like lutein, which support eye health. Corn is also a gluten-free whole grain, making it accessible to those with dietary restrictions. While low in fat, its carbohydrate content provides a quick energy boost. However, when paired with butter or salt, the calorie and sodium content can rise, so mindful preparation is recommended for a more balanced option. Whether served plain or dressed up with spices, corn on the cob remains a nutritious and versatile staple in global diets.
