About Corn, sweet, yellow, raw
Sweet corn is the tender, sugary variety of maize eaten as a vegetable rather than ground into flour — picked young while the kernels are still juicy. Grilled on the cob, cut into salads or scattered into chowders, it's a summer favorite the world over.
More starchy and energy-dense than watery vegetables, corn is built mostly on carbohydrate, but it brings real fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin that give the yellow kernels their color and support eye health. Its natural sugars start turning to starch the moment it's picked, which is why fresh-from-the-field corn tastes sweetest.
Satisfying and naturally sweet, corn sits somewhere between a vegetable and a starch on the plate — best enjoyed with that in mind, and lighter without lashings of butter.
