Why Eating Corn Is Good During Monsoon

We all have heard of corn and most of us love to eat it as well. Corn, also called maize, though viewed as a vegetable, is actually a food grain. Corn, apart from being delicious, is highly rich in vitamins, minerals, and fibre and offers several health benefits.

Organic or unprocessed corn is rich in vitamin C. It is also rich in magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B. It contains a good dose of two antioxidants, linked to eye and skin health called zeaxanthin and lutein.

It gives you a good amount of dietary fibre that you need along with some complex carbohydrates that are great sources of energy.

These yellow kernels are protein packed and are perfect to be consumed during any part of the day.
