About this product

You can’t get much more seasonal than munching freshly boiled or steamed sweetcorn straight from the cob. A knob of butter or non-dairy alternative is as complicated as you need to make it. Alternatively, cut off the cob with a sharp knife to add to dishes, or just as a side.

And contrary to popular belief it’s one of your 5-a-day and healthy! Just because it comes out looking intact, doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked its magic on its way round 😉

Wash before eating.

* Like us, not all fruit or vegetables are perfectly formed. We don’t believe in discriminating against misshapen carrots or imperfect potatoes and in fact, love them for their flaws. A less than round apple is still as tasty as their perfectly formed cousins. Unless your produce is clearly defective, please accept them as Nature intended.

Storage info: Best kept in the fridge in the leaves until ready to use.

Health benefits: Corn, along with other yellow and orange veggies, is rich in anti-oxidants lutein and beta-carotene – essential for preventing eye diseases. Corn also contains certain B vitamins and vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Sweetcorn does have high amounts of insoluble fibre – which is why the husks of the corn kernels don’t get broken down – but apparently that’s good for your gut, as it feeds the good bacteria in your stomach! With a growing amount of people gluten intolerant, corn is naturally gluten-free, which is why in its flour form – maize it is used to make gluten-free pastas and is a healthy alternative to wheat.
