Corn grows in "ears," each covered in rows of kernels protected by the silk-like threads called "corn silk" and encased in a husk. Corn’s traditional name is maize, which was known to the Native Americans and many other cultures worldwide. Although we often associate corn with yellow, it comes in many different colors, including red, pink, black, purple, and blue. Corn is now available in markets year-round, and locally grown varieties can be purchased during summer. They taste the best and are usually the least expensive.

Nutrition Information
All varieties of corn provide antioxidant phytonutrients. The exact phytonutrient combination, however, depends on the variety itself. Yellow corn is richer in carotenoids, especially lutein and zeaxanthin. Blue corn has unique concentrations of anthocyanins. Purple corn provides unusual amounts of protocatechuic acid. Ferulic acid, beta-carotene, vanillic acid, coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and syringic acid are other key phytonutrients provided by corn. Corn is a good source of pantothenic acid, phosphorus, niacin, dietary fiber, manganese, and vitamin B6.
