About Half cup corn
Half Cup Corn is a versatile and nutritious ingredient that can complement a variety of dishes. Corn, believed to have originated in Mesoamerica, is a staple in many cuisines, including Mexican, American, and South Asian. In a half-cup serving, you'll find approximately 75 calories, offering a balance of fiber, natural sugars, and complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. Rich in vitamins such as B-complex for metabolism and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health, corn also contains small amounts of potassium and magnesium which support heart function. While corn is relatively low in fat, its natural sugars mean it has a higher glycemic index, so moderation may be needed for individuals managing blood sugar levels. It can be enjoyed steamed, roasted, or as an ingredient in soups, salads, and casseroles, making it a delicious and adaptable addition to your plate.
