Corn on the cob, a summertime favorite, features whole ears of sweet corn steamed, boiled, or grilled for a fresh, flavorful bite. Native to Central America, corn has been a staple crop for centuries and is celebrated in cuisines worldwide—from Mexican elote to American backyard barbecues. Packed with essential nutrients, corn provides vitamins B and C, fiber for digestion, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin that promote eye health. While naturally low in fat and sodium, its healthiness can be impacted by toppings like butter or cheese, which add extra calories and saturated fats. Corn also contains complex carbohydrates, offering energy and supporting a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Its versatility makes it a fun and nutritious choice, whether served plain or paired with savory spices. Enjoyed fresh and minimally processed, corn on the cob enriches meals with wholesome goodness from the earth.
