Fresh corn on the cob is a beloved staple in many cuisines, especially in American, Mexican, and South American traditions. Native to the Americas, corn has been cultivated for thousands of years and is enjoyed for its sweet, crunchy kernels. Nutritionally, corn provides dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and is a source of essential vitamins such as B6, folate, and vitamin C. It contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. While corn is naturally low in fat and sodium, moderation is key as its natural sugars can contribute to a higher glycemic index. Fresh corn on the cob is versatile, often boiled, grilled, or steamed, and pairs well with a variety of seasonings. Whether served on its own or as part of a dish, it offers a nutritious and satisfying addition to your meals.
