Sweet Corn Nutrition Facts
Summer classic with fiber, folate, and eye-healthy antioxidants.
About Sweet Corn
Sweet corn earns a spot on the EWG Clean Fifteen year after year, with very low pesticide residue. An ear provides fiber, folate, thiamin, and two antioxidants — lutein and zeaxanthin — that accumulate in the retina and support long-term eye health. Despite its sweetness, corn has a moderate glycemic impact when eaten whole.

Fun Fact
Every kernel of corn on a cob has its own silk strand — pollination of each silk creates one kernel.
Seasonality
Peak season June through September. Eat as fresh as possible — sugars begin converting to starch the moment corn is picked.
Storage Tip
Keep husks on and refrigerate immediately. Cook within 1–2 days for best sweetness.
