Whole-grain corn is as healthy as any cereal grain, rich in fibre and many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
It is typically yellow but comes in a variety of other colours, such as red, orange, purple, blue, white, and black. Today, numerous varieties are cultivated, but the most common are flint, dent, sweet, and popcorn. Corn is nutritious, providing fibre, which aids in digestion, plus folate, thiamin, phosphorus, vitamin C, and magnesium (about 10% of the daily value for each). And just for fun, before you bite into that cob at your next barbecue, take a closer look: The average ear has 800 kernels, arranged in 16 rows, with one strand of silk for each kernel.

Just remember: while sweet corn is healthy, some of the toppings people like to put on it aren’t.
