Corn cobs are the central part of an ear of corn, holding rows of plump kernels that are a staple in many cuisines worldwide, particularly American and Mexican cooking. Corn is rich in carbohydrates, making it a great source of energy, and contains dietary fiber to support digestion. It also provides essential nutrients like vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. Though naturally low in fat, its preparation can impact nutritional value; adding butter, salt, or other toppings can increase calorie count and sodium levels. Corn cobs can be boiled, roasted, or grilled, offering versatility as a side dish or snack. While fresh corn is considered healthy and nutrient-dense, processed corn products like syrup or chips should be consumed in moderation due to added sugars and unhealthy fats. Corn cobs are a flavorful way to enjoy whole grains straight from the source!
