Early June through Late October

Benefits

Corn provides lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidants that specifically protect eye health and may prevent age-related vision decline, while its natural sweetness delivers satisfying energy from complex carbohydrates. Corn is a low-glycemic index food, meaning it's digested slowly and doesn't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.

Recipe Suggestions

• Grilled corn on the cob
• Cilantro lime corn
• Creamed corn
• Sweet corn soup

Notes

Corn is very healthy! It is processed corn, like corn oil and corn syrup, that is not as healthy.
