Highlights: Organic Sweet Corn (Sweetcorn) is a variety of maize with a high sugar content. Unlike field corn varieties, which are harvested when the kernels are dry and mature (dent stage), sweet corn is picked when immature (milk stage) and prepared and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. Since the process of maturation involves converting sugar to starch, sweet corn stores poorly and must be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, before the kernels become tough and starchy.

Organic Sweet Corn (Sweetcorn) is a great source of antioxidants. The antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin protect the healthy cells in your eyes against damaging high-energy blue wavelengths of light and help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. It’s also a great source of fibre, the chewing that’s required hints at a high ratio of insoluble to soluble fibre.

The high fibre content offers substantial health benefits, it improves digestion and benefits the cardiovascular system. It also contains valuable B vitamins, which are important to maintaining your overall health and well-being. Sweetcorn also offers essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese.
