Calories in Corn on the Cob

|
One of the main reasons why we see so many of the types of foods offered at fast food restaurants is because the government subsidizes growers for growing certain crops - and corn, wheat and other grains are at the top of the list.
What would be the result of subsidizing vegetables? Fruits? No doubt - a much healthier world.
Corn is often considered as a vegetable too excessive in caloric values to include on a weight loss plan. But as we can see by our data within this page - it's actually quite nominal.
It is a rich source for potassium at almost 500 milligrams per cup of shelled kernels and provide almost 5 grams of dietary fiber.
