Corn has about the same number of calories as an apple and less than one-fourth the sugar. Antioxidant activity, which helps protect the body from cancer and heart disease, is actually increased when corn is cooked. Best way to choose corn (as conveyed by a farmer friend) is to avoid corn with dry, pale husks and silks that are desiccated where they enter the cob. If pricked, kernels should squirt whitish juice.
Boiled Corn Kernels can be mixed in different forms to create a wonderful and healthy snack or starter. During the monsoon season corn is widely available in India. I have used sweet corn but one can use desi corn or bhutta.
For me using the forzen corn is much more convenient than using the corn cobs. I always stockup sweet corn in the freezer since it comes in handy whenever I need to use it for my recipies.
