There are many other names for corn, such as glutinous rice, corncobs, corn, Chinese chestnut, and chestnut rice. Corn has many nutrients, such as vitamins, proteins, trace elements, dietary fiber, etc. It is a food suitable for daily consumption. . Among corn varieties, Waxy Corn, Sweet Corn, and old corn are the most common on the market. They are white, purple, and yellow. Which kind of corn has high nutritional value?

Different colors of corn have slightly different health care functions because they contain different types of pigments. Compared with white corn, purple corn has more anthocyanins, which have antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Yellow corn contains carotene and zeaxanthin, which is good for maintaining visual health.

Its total sugar is 33.6%, which is about twice that of ordinary fruits, and it is 30% higher than that of watermelons. Because of sweet corn The sugar content is relatively high, and most of it is sucrose, glucose, which is likely to cause elevated blood sugar, so it is not recommended for people with diabetes.

Old corn has high crude fiber content and low soluble sugar content. It is a good choice for people who lose weight and people with diabetes.

The difference between old corn and tender corn

The taste of tender corn is relatively sweeter and softer than that of old corn. The corn in the old corn is fragrant, but the taste is almost the same.

When many people buy corn, hawkers often ask whether they want to use old corn or tender corn. If you say that you want to tender corn, you often take it home and eat it. It is an old corn and it is actually very simple.

The tender corn has uniform grains, green leaves, and soft corn. It is fresh and tender corn. The same batch of corn, try to pick the small grain of corn.

Old corn: It feels like a hard state, its leaves are yellow, and the particles are a bit numb. The same batch of corn, the larger the particles, the older the corn.
