In most of Latin America, sweet corn is traditionally eaten with beans (for example in Chili con Carne); each food is deficient in two essential amino acids which happen to be abundant in the other, so together sweet corn and beans form a protein-complete meal. Sweet corn cut off from the cobs is sometimes eaten with peas, where this combination is a frequent addition to diverse meals such as salads, stews, seasoned white rice, risottos, soups, pasta, and whole sausage hot dogs.
Description
Sweet corn eaten directly off the cobs (boiled or roasted over a coal fire) can be served with butter or with lime and salt and some chili powder.
Sweet corn is very rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B5, vitamin C, phosphorus, manganese, folate, and dietary fiber. Because of the vitamins contained in sweet corn, many health benefits can be associated with the consumption of this delicious vegetable.
