The fun thing about corn is that the answer to this question is ‘both’. Fresh sweet corn is a vegetable that can be enjoyed when boiled. Very young corn ears can be eaten raw, along with the silk and cob, which makes them a nice ingredient for fresh salads. When the plan matures, it dries and both the cob and silk become inedible. At this time, corn seeds become very hard and impossible to eat without boiling and cooking them for up to an hour. As this transformation occurs, organic corn turns into a whole grain as opposed to a vegetable. Organic Corn Truths: Is Corn Good for You? Organic corn is very good for you. The idea that it might not be a healthy food occurred during the times of the so-called ‘carbs craze’. Then, many people believed that all carbs are bad, especially if they are starchy. However, studies proved that we need those substances for fueling the body. It’s overeating, unhealthy diet, and lack of physical exercise that are main causes of obesity. Carbs, when consumed in reasonable amounts, are not only safe but necessary.

However, you should always go for organic popcorn as processed snack foods are full of harmful elements and fats.

Starting your day with some cornbread is a great idea as it’s nutritional and provides you with a boost of energy that will keep you going till lunch. There are some nutritionists claiming that some of the corn’s proteins are similar to gluten and therefore might cause a negative reaction in individuals with sensitivity. However, this assumption is yet to be proven. The only risk you get when buying organic corn is cross-contamination that might occur in a facility that also processes wheat. However, if the manufacturer is reliable and utilizes proper quality and safety practices, this risk is negligible. Are There Any Health Considerations When Eating Corn? Organic corn is definitely one of the safest whole grains you can find. The risk of an allergic reaction to this food is extremely low.

This matter travels through the intestines and literally makes your bowel movements. Soluble fiber is the thing that provides ‘grease’ for this process.

Making some corn soup is a must for every American who wants to eat healthy. This tasty dish is great for digestion, low in calories, and tastes amazing if you add the right spices.

Switch to low heat and leave for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Once veggies are ready, add the potato to the pan and stir. Then, add flour and stir again to coat all vegetables. Add the milk and all spices and stir again before bringing to a boil and leaving the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes. When all your veggies (especially the potato) are soft, add well-soaked corn kernels. Cook for about 10 more minutes until corn becomes tender enough for you. Remove from heat and put about ¼ of the soup into a blender. Process until smooth and put it back with the rest of the soup. You can take more depending on how thick you want the dish to be. Finally, add apple cider vinegar and seasonings. Stir well and serve while hot. This is a fantastic filling dish that would make a good dinner no matter the season.

Organic Corn: Storage Tips Food To Live Organic Corn doesn’t have any special storage requirements. You just have to keep it dry at all times. Storing it away from heat and direct sunlight is preferable as both reduce the nutritional value of the product. Generally, corn keeps extremely well because it contains only the tiniest amount of fats. This means that unlike most whole grains, the risk of corn going rancid is minimal. However, you must ensure that the kernels remain dry. Humidity and bacteria can cause mold, which will ruin the product. Never consume moldy corn or any other food as it’s potentially dangerous. If you want your storage of Food To Live Organic Corn to last indefinitely, put it in the freezer. Be sure to arrange it in such a way that it’ll be easy to take a portion out to defrost. Re-freezing any type of food greatly diminishes its nutritional value. It also affects the taste and texture, making the product bland and unpleasantly grainy. Keep this in mind if you have frequent blackouts and there is a risk of freezer being on and off. In this case, it might be best to keep your corn supply in a cool pantry. Due to its extended shelf life, you can buy Food To Live Organic Corn in bulk.
