Is canned corn healthy? ›

Corn is a valuable source of plant protein, too, says Whitney Linsenmeyer, PhD, assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University. One serving–half a cup of canned or frozen or one medium ear of corn—provides about 3.5 grams of protein.

You can do this one of two ways: grill over high heat for 2-4 minutes per side until husks are charred; or roast in a 500° oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once. In either case, don't remove the husks—they contain flavor, as well as moisture that protects the corn inside from drying out.

Draining and rinsing of canned vegetables can reduce the sodium content from 9 23%. Analytical values for the three vegetables tested were lower than that declared on the label. Of all the nutrients tested, vitamin C decreased from 5-28% with draining and rinsing.

Canned corn is fully cooked, so it is safe to eat without further cooking. Canned vegetables are great to keep on hand. Look for “low sodium” or “no salt added” on the label, or rinse canned vegetables to reduce their sodium (salt) content.

For each 4 cups (1 L ) corn add 1 cup (250ml) water. Bring to boil; reduce heat, boil gently 5 minutes. Pack loosely into hot jars. Season, add liquid.

For raw-packed whole-kernel-style corn, fill jars with cut blanched corn, leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) of headspace. Add boiling water over the corn in each jar, leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) of headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe sealing surface of jars with a clean, damp paper towel, add lids, tighten screw bands, and process.

High intake can cause digestive upset, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, in some people. Corn contains phytic acid, which may reduce mineral absorption. Mycotoxin contamination may also be a concern in developing countries. Finally, corn's soluble fiber (FODMAPs) may cause symptoms for some people.

Previous studies have shown that sweet corn contains various nutrients and phytochemicals, such as carotenoids [22]. It is a rich and good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which can exert anti-inflammatory activity to alleviate inflammation in RPE cells [22,23].

Frozen corn has more calories, carbs, carotenoids, and vitamin A than cob and canned corn. Frozen corn has less sodium than canned corn but still has more than corn on the cob.

How to jazz up a can of corn? ›

A little butter, milk and a dash of sugar will go a long way to improving the flavor. If you have the option, I'd recommend frozen corn over canned. Its already cooked…so just heat. If wanting to keep real simple, I drain, heat then add a little butter, kosher salt and a good bit of Fresh Ground Black Pepper.
