Ear corn, commonly referred to as corn on the cob, is a versatile and naturally sweet vegetable enjoyed worldwide, with origins tracing back to Central and South America. Packed with nutrients, it's an excellent source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion, and provides vital vitamins such as B vitamins, particularly folate, as well as vitamin C. Corn also contains essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. While primarily featured in American, Mexican, and various global cuisines, it can be boiled, grilled, or roasted for a healthy side dish. Corn is naturally low in fat and sodium, making it a heart-friendly choice when eaten plain. However, adding butter, salt, or creamy toppings may increase calorie and fat content. With its energizing carbohydrates and complex sugars, ear corn is a satisfying, nutrient-rich food that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
