September Pick of the Month: Cheerful Corn!
Sep 1,2010
Corn has been providing excellent nutrition to people since 3400 BC when central American cultures started eating it. An ear of corn has rows of kernels, protected by silk-like threads called corn silk and encased in a husk.
Today, Americans consume about 25 pounds of corn per person each year. Most of this corn is frozen or canned, which are both nearly as healthy as fresh corn.
