Love sweet corn? There are plenty of reasons to love them. This wonderful yet humble food has so much to offer in terms of taste and versatility. From soups and salads, to accompanying main dishes and desserts, adding sweet corn gives any dish a delicious flavor and texture boost.
It is also great on its own; whether boiled, grilled, baked, microwaved or popped, there is truly no limit to enjoying sweet corn. But did you know that corn is a nutritional powerhouse?
Sweet Corn Nutrition
Beyond its taste and adaptability, sweet corn is packed with vitamins A, B and C, zinc, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, thiamine, folate, and manganese. It also offers more protein than any other vegetable and high amounts of fiber which is great for gut health. It is also high in protective antioxidants – more than wheat and white rice.
All of these wonderful nutrients in sweet corn can help to prevent chronic diseases, support digestive health, and promote heart and eye health while helping to form mucus membranes, healthy teeth, and skeletal and soft tissue. It is a low-glycemic index food, corn is digested slowly by the body and doesn’t cause unhealthy blood sugar spikes.
Healthy Ways To Enjoy Sweet Corn
The best way to enjoy corn and all of the nutrients it offers is by eating whole corn kernels. You can buy frozen sweet corn kernels at Puri Pangan Utama, a reputable and established food distributor in Bali. Frozen corn kernels can be roasted, boiled, broiled, steamed, or grilled. But the quickest, easiest and healthiest option would be microwaved sweet corn.
Microwave Sweet Corn
All you need is unsalted butter, salt and frozen sweet corn from Puri Pangan Utama. Place the corn kernels and some water in a microwave-safe bowl and place it in the microwave oven. Set the microwave on high setting for approximately 4-5 minutes. Take the corn out of the microwave, allow it to cool slightly, add a dash of salt and a teaspoon of butter. If you prefer to have it sweet, you can add palm sugar to the mix too. Enjoy!
Microwave sweet corn is great on its own as a healthy snack, but if you want, you can always take it a step further and add them to your cooking for a crunchy and sweet surprise to any dish and any cuisine. Just be sure to stock up on frozen corn kernels!
