Nothing says summer like fresh corn on the cob. There's just something about biting into a tender, sweet ear that brings a smile, albeit a messy one, to anyone's face. You could boil it, roast it, grill it, microwave it, bake it, or even air fry it.
Corn is rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage and wards off diseases like cancer and heart disease. Yellow corn is a good source of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for eye health and help prevent the lens damage that leads to cataracts. Corn also has smaller amounts of vitamins B, E, and K, along with minerals like magnesium and potassium.
