About Corn on the cobb

Corn on the cob is a popular, wholesome food enjoyed globally, but its origins trace back to ancient Mesoamerica, where maize was cultivated as a staple crop. This vibrant, golden vegetable is rich in dietary fiber, promoting digestive health, and contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Corn is naturally gluten-free and a versatile ingredient in many cuisines, including American barbecue, Mexican street food, and Asian recipes. While corn itself is low in fat and moderately calorie-dense, its preparation can impact its nutritional profile; butter, salt, or sugary toppings may add extra calories and sodium. Enjoying corn boiled, grilled, or roasted offers a nutritious and satisfying side dish without compromising its health benefits.
