Yellow Corn

Yellow corn is a popular and versatile grain rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It provides a substantial amount of vitamin B1 (thiamine), which is essential for energy production and cognitive functions, and vitamin B3 (niacin), which supports metabolism and overall cell health. Yellow corn also contains antioxidants like zeaxanthin and lutein, which are important for eye health, reducing the risk of age-related vision loss. It’s used in various forms—fresh, frozen, canned, and as flour or meal—in dishes ranging from sweet corn on the cob and cornbread to polenta and tortillas. Additionally, its natural sweetness and satisfying texture make it a favorite in both savory dishes and desserts.
