About Corn from the cob

Corn from the cob is a versatile and nutrient-rich food enjoyed worldwide, originating from Central and South America where it was cultivated thousands of years ago. This whole grain is packed with essential nutrients, including carbohydrates for energy, dietary fiber for digestion, and small amounts of protein. Corn also contains vitamins such as folate, vitamin C, and B-complex vitamins, along with minerals like magnesium and potassium. It is naturally gluten-free, making it a popular choice in many cuisines, including Mexican, American, and African dishes. While fresh corn is low in fat and a good source of antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, processed versions—such as creamed corn or sugary canned varieties—may contain added fats or sugars. Overall, corn from the cob offers a delicious, healthy option for a balanced diet when eaten fresh or moderately processed.
