Ways to Consume

Corn on the cob can be boiled, steamed, roasted, or grilled. For roasting and grilling, leave the husk on. Microwave corn for around 2 minutes per ear for speedier cooking. This vegetable is also a hearty ingredient to soups, stews, and casseroles. Take caution while topping your corn. Coating the ear with butter will add calories and fat. Instead, for flavor, try a squeeze of lime, a teaspoon of olive oil, or a pinch of chile powder or smoky paprika. The same spices can also be used to substitute butter on popcorn.
