Corn is nutritious and healthy but...
there's something special about grilling corn on the cob and summer time fun!
Not only is this veggie great on the grill, but it's one of my favorites frozen, canned, creamed or fresh.
Nutritionally, it contains folate, phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, protein, potassium, fiber, thiamine, and panthotenic acid.
It also has Vitamins A, C, E and K. That's an impressive list of nutrients.
It's rich in folate, which lowers the levels of homocysteine, an amino acid. Homocysteine is an intermediate product in a metabolic process known as the methylation cycle. Homocysteine can damage blood vessels which can lead to heart disease.
It's rich in beta-cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid found in the highest quantities in corn, papaya, tangerines, red bell peppers, oranges, pumpkins, and peaches. The carotenoid may notably lower the risk of lung cancer.
1 cup of this veggie supplies fifteen percent of the daily value of pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is used by mitochondria to change complex carbs into glucose which supplies energy. The beta-carotene contained in this veggie boost supplies of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to your cells and helps prevent fatigue.
Rich in manganese, this mineral rouses your thyroid gland to create more triiodothyronine, a hormone that boost your metabolic rate.
Muffins are excellent for breakfast, with soups, stews, salads and much more!
