What is the nutritional value of corn?
Tanida Meng (advocate of natural cereal food) replied:

Corn is a common food crop, which is widely planted and applied in every corner of the vast and densely populated north and south of China. Corn is not only delicious, but also rich in nutritional value. Here is a detailed introduction to the nutritional value, efficacy and role of corn:

Corn is rich in carbohydrates: carbohydrates in corn are one of the main energy sources of our body, which can be converted into heat energy through metabolism and used for physical exercise and life activities.

Corn is rich in dietary fiber: dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, and help the human body excrete excessive cholesterol, effectively preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Corn contains a lot of vitamins: corn contains a lot of vitamins A, B, C and E, which are essential substances to maintain normal physiological functions of human body.

Corn is rich in minerals: corn contains important minerals such as potassium, iron, zinc and magnesium, which plays an important role in maintaining the functions of many organs and systems of the human body.

Corn is rich in phytochemicals: corn contains a lot of phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, anthocyanins and other natural antioxidants. These substances can effectively inhibit the generation and accumulation of free radicals in human body and prevent various diseases caused by excessive free radical activity.

In a word, corn not only tastes good, but also has very high nutritional value. In daily life, we should add it to our diet moderately, so that it can provide effective protection for our health. However, it should be noted that for some pregnant women, children and the elderly, it is necessary to choose appropriate eating methods and doses according to personal physique and illness to ensure their safety and nutritional effects.
