About Corn kernels

Corn kernels, the small, golden seeds harvested from the corn cob, are a versatile staple found in cuisines worldwide, particularly in American, Mexican, and Central American dishes. Naturally sweet and mildly nutty in flavor, they can be enjoyed fresh, canned, or frozen. Nutritionally, corn kernels are a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion, and contain essential vitamins like B-complex vitamins, folate, and vitamin C. They also provide antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote healthy vision. Corn kernels are naturally gluten-free, making them a valuable grain option for those with dietary restrictions. However, they are higher in natural sugars and carbohydrates compared to other vegetables, so portion control is key for those monitoring blood sugar or calorie intake. Perfect for soups, salads, snacks, or side dishes, corn kernels bring both nourishment and flavor to a variety of meals.
