About White and yellow corn
White and yellow corn are versatile grains native to Central and South America, now enjoyed worldwide. These varieties offer a slightly sweet flavor and are commonly used in dishes like tortillas, cornbread, soups, and salads. A single ear of corn is rich in carbohydrates for energy, fiber for digestion, and essential vitamins like B-complex and folate, promoting cellular function. Corn also provides small amounts of protein and is low in fat, making it a heart-friendly choice when not smothered in butter or fried. Importantly, it contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. However, due to its high glycemic index, it can impact blood sugar levels if consumed excessively. Additionally, many processed corn products may lack nutritional value. When enjoyed fresh or minimally processed, white and yellow corn are a nutritious, flavorful addition to meals across numerous cuisines.
