About Corn on the cob

Corn on the cob is a universally loved dish, often associated with summer barbecues and globally enjoyed across various cuisines. Originating from the Americas, corn has been a dietary staple for thousands of years. This dish is simply whole ears of sweet corn boiled, grilled, or roasted, often served with butter, salt, and other seasonings. Nutritionally, corn is rich in fiber, aiding digestion, and it provides essential vitamins like B6, folate, and potassium for heart and muscle health. It's also a good source of antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. However, the toppings typically added—like butter or excess salt—can increase calories and sodium content, making moderation key. With its natural sweetness and satisfying bite, corn on the cob is a wholesome addition to your plate when enjoyed in balance.
