Small corn cobs, often referred to as baby corn or miniature corn, are a versatile vegetable enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Asian dishes like stir-fries and salads. While they are immature versions of full-grown corn, they’re not genetically modified—they're simply harvested early. These tender cobs are low in calories, naturally fat-free, and a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestive health. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, folate, and potassium. Unlike mature corn, small corn cobs contain fewer sugars, making them a lighter option for those monitoring their sugar intake. Their mild flavor and crunchy texture make them a popular choice for adding variety to meals. However, canned or jarred varieties may contain added sodium, so it’s best to choose fresh or low-sodium options when possible. Overall, small corn cobs are a healthy, nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet.
