About Corn kernel

Corn kernels are the edible seeds of corn, a staple crop native to the Americas and widely used in global cuisines. They are naturally sweet and packed with essential nutrients, offering a good source of carbohydrates that provide energy, along with small amounts of protein and fiber to help with digestion. Corn kernels contain vitamins like B-complex, particularly B6, as well as folate and vitamin C, which contribute to overall health. They are also rich in antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Commonly used in dishes like salads, soups, salsas, and as a side dish, corn is a fundamental ingredient in Latin American cuisine. While fresh or roasted corn kernels can be part of a healthy diet, processed forms such as those found in chips or high-fructose corn syrup should be consumed sparingly due to added sugars and fats.
