Is Corn Healthy?
Absolutely! Despite some of the mixed messages we hear from those advocating low-carb or grain-free diets, whole corn on the cob is incredibly healthy. It is a complex carbohydrate with healthy fiber and protein. Therefore, eating corn will help keep you satisfied for a longer time.
How to Choose the Best Corn on the Cob
When choosing fresh corn on the cob, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:
- Moist, Green Husks: Husks should feel moist (avoid anything that seems dried out) and dark green (avoid tan or brown husks — a sign they’re dried out
- Golden Silks: Silks should be tan or golden. Avoid slimy dark brown silks, a sign of fungus or mold
- Sweet Smell: Sniff around the tip where the silks pop out — it should smell fresh, slightly sweet, and, well, like corn

White Miso vs. Brown Miso: White miso has the most mild flavor while darker red and brown miso will bring richer, assertive flavor.
Gluten-Free Check: Miso can be made with a blend of soybeans, barley, and other grains. If gluten-free is a concern, double-check the label for a certified Gluten-Free paste
