Health Benefits of Sweet Corn


Sweet corn is also gluten-free and rich in dietary fiber. Sweet corn with a dose of 100 grams can meet two grams or five percent of your daily dietary fiber needs, such as quoted from Healthmeup, Tuesday (03/03/2015).

Yellow sweet corn varieties are also loaded with antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, lutein, xanthins and cryptoxanthin. It plays an important role in keeping the skin, vision, and mucous membranes healthy.

As a good source of ferulic acid, sweet corn can help delay aging, prevent cancer, and fight inflammation. Sweet corn can increase metabolism with the help of B vitamins such as thiamin, niacin, pantothenic acid, folate, riboflavin, and pyridoxine. Corn also contains a number of minerals needed for health such as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese.
