Cooked Corn

Cooked corn is a popular side dish that is enjoyed around the world. It is packed with various essential nutrients including carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and vitamins. A half-cup serving of cooked corn provides approximately 66 calories with only 1.5 grams of fat. Corn is also an excellent source of antioxidants, particularly carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin which promote eye health. Additionally, corn contains high levels of folate, a B-vitamin important for brain function and the production of DNA and other genetic material. The fiber content of corn helps to maintain healthy digestion and can lower the risk of certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and colorectal cancer. Overall, cooked corn is a nutritious addition to any balanced diet.
