About One corn on a cob
Corn on the cob is a classic staple enjoyed worldwide, originating from Mesoamerican cuisine, particularly cultivated by the indigenous peoples of Central America. This popular summer treat is rich in essential nutrients like dietary fiber, vitamins B and C, potassium, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Corn is naturally gluten-free and serves as a good energy source due to its carbohydrate content. When boiled or grilled without excessive butter or salt, it remains a low-fat, heart-healthy option. However, toppings like butter or cheese can increase its calorie and fat content significantly. Corn on the cob can be savored on its own or as part of dishes in cuisines like American barbecue, Mexican elote, or Asian corn milk recipes, offering versatility for various eating preferences.
