The Goods on Corn

Corn is actually both a vegetable and a grain which makes it a bit of a unique food and it’s found in a lot of what we eat: tortillas, chips, popcorn and cereals. Yellow corn is high in potassium which can help lower blood pressure. This gluten-free veggie is also richer in antioxidants than other grains such as wheat, oats and rice. And when in season and fresh, it tastes delicious as a side!
