About Corn kernals
Corn kernels, the nutrient-dense seeds of the maize plant, are a staple crop native to Mesoamerica and now enjoyed worldwide. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide a quick source of energy and are a key ingredient in cuisines ranging from Mexican to American comfort food. Corn is also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and maintaining gut health. It contains vitamins such as B6 and folate as well as essential minerals like magnesium and zinc. Yellow corn is particularly rich in antioxidants like carotenoids, which support eye health. While corn is naturally low in fat and sugar, processed versions, such as high-fructose corn syrup, can detract from its nutritional benefits. Overall, fresh or minimally processed kernels offer a versatile, healthful option to incorporate into balanced meals and snacks.
