Corn

EverydayFresh

Fresh corn is a sweet cereal grain consumed as a vegetable, recognized by its tightly packed rows of plump, juicy kernels on a cylindrical cob. This naturally gluten-free food provides energizing complex carbohydrates along with beneficial fiber and eye-supporting antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. The kernels are typically eaten boiled, grilled, or steamed on the cob, or removed for use in salads and salsas, offering both sweet flavor and satisfying crunch.
