PLEASE READ AMIGOS!! WE LOVE OUR FRESH CORN. What a great benefit comes from eating Elotes.
Corn is a starchy vegetable that can provide the body with complex carbohydrates for energy. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, thiamin, and niacin 1. Additionally, corn is a great source of insoluble fiber, which bulks up stool and prevents constipation. Corn fiber also acts as a prebiotic, feeding the healthy bacteria in your gut and helping your digestive system break down and absorb nutrients from corn 2. Yellow corn is a good source of carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for eye health and assist in preventing lens damage that brings about cataracts 1.
So, eating corn can result in many health-related benefits. If youโre looking for a way to add more corn to your diet, try adding it to salads, soups, or grain bowls 1.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. ๐
