Another famed food of summertime is the picnic superstar, corn on the cob. While carb conscious dieters may eschew this tasty grain, allow me to list its virtues…
1. A medium sized ear has only 110 calories.
2. It is roughly 80% carbohydrate, 20% fat and 10% protein, making it a very nutritionally balanced food… your whole diet should look this good!
3. With its 3 grams of fiber, it is about 15% of your daily recommendation.
4. It contains about 25% of your daily dose of thiamin (B1), which helps your body release energy from carbohydrates and necessary for a well-functioning nervous system
5. Vitamin A (in yellow varieties), Vitamin C, potassium, B6 and iron all round out the nutrient list of this delicious grain.
So enjoy!
