Corn Cob
Serving Ideas for King Corn by Janey
Corn is not my main food here in Southeast China, since our place won't be able to grown them, but I think it's a great and healthy food to fill our stomach when I'm hungery yet don't have enought time to cook.
I just put them in the water to boil, don't need any sauce or condiment, I like to eat the nature corn with no extra seasoning or cooking:) So very simple to make.
A Few Quick Serving Ideas:
Eat corn on the cob either just as is or seasoned with a little organic butter, olive oil or flaxseed oil, salt and pepper, nutritional yeast or any other herbs or spices you enjoy.
Healthy cooked corn with green chilis and onions. Served hot, this makes a wonderful side dish.
Enjoy a cold salad with an ancient Incan influence by combining cooked corn kernels, quinoa, tomatoes, green peppers and red kidney beans.
Add corn kernels and diced tomatoes to guacamole to give it extra zing.
Adding corn to soup, whether it chili or chowder, enhances the soup's hardiness, let alone its nutritional profile.
Corn Nutrition
Corn is a versatile crop and everything on the corn plant is useable. No part of the corn plant needs to be wasted. The husks of corn are traditionally used in making tamales, the kernels for food, the stalks for animal food and the corn silks for medicinal tea. Food products made from corn include corn oil, corn meal, corn syrup and even bourbon.
The most important refined corn products are corn sweeteners that last year accounted for more than 56 percent of the national nutritive sweetener market. One cup of raw white corn has about 130 calories, 2 grams of fat, 5 grams of protein, 29 grams of carbohydrate and 4 grams of fiber with no cholesterol.
Corn is also rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin that have been associated with lower risk of chronic diseases. Moreover, corn oil is high in the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid as well as vitamin E. Other sources of antioxidants and vitamins are found in supplements
Corn is a frequent food in our kitchen, we can grow them in our garden and even feed our pet
