Corn is an excellent low-fat source of complex carbohydrates, which provide energy.
The average ear of corn has 800 kernels arranged in 16 rows. When selecting corn, look for fresh-looking husks free of evidence of worms or decay. The ears should be evenly covered with plump, milky kernels. Press slightly on a kernel to see if they are milky. Keep fresh corn refrigerated, and use within a few days.
