Creamed Corn

When it comes to creamed dishes, one cannot simply forget the name ‘creamed corn’. The recipe is very easy to prepare and is delightful.

Creamed corn is a dish that works great as a side dish for chicken or pork but tastes equally good if eaten on its own.

Health Benefits

• Besides containing a lot of water (which is good for health), corn is principally made of sugars and has little measures of protein and fat.
• Sweet corn is stacked with lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that promote stronger vision. Other than assisting with weight loss, the insoluble fiber in corn upholds good bacteria in your gut, which helps in digestion and helps keep you healthy. Toss in a sound measure of B vitamins, in addition to iron, protein, and potassium and you have one sweet bundle of corn.

Indeed, you can stack up natural corn with margarine and other unhealthy garnishes. However, a single plain ear of corn has around 100 calories, the same amount an apple has. What’s more, with almost 3 grams of fiber for every serving, corn can enable you to feel full soon, so you’re reluctant to eat a lot and pack on the pounds.
