Grilled Corn:

Grilled corn has many benefits and is great for the human body, treats many diseases, and is used in many medical fields. It helps to naturally produce urine instead of having to take some medicines for urinary problems. It also breaks up kidney and gallbladder stones.

In addition it is useful for people with diabetes, by preventing water retention in the body, and reducing the level of sugar in the blood. As for the heart, corn has enormous benefits in reducing cholesterol in the blood, rich in fatty acids that benefit the body.

Doctors recommend eating grilled corn for people who follow a healthy diet to lose weight, as it prevents fat accumulation in the body, helps in the treatment of rheumatic diseases, arthritis, rheumatoid, gout and cartilage toughness, even helps reduce nausea.

Nutritional value of grilled corn:

Grilled corn is a rich source of many vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B, calcium and thiamine. It is also the source of many minerals, such as iron, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, and zinc. Provides plenty of fiber that protect against the problems of constipation and hemorrhoids, reduces them, and contains antioxidants that protects against Alzheimer's disease and cancers, and these benefits are for corn in general, not only for grilled corn.

How to prepare grilled corn:

Corn is prepared in many ways, it can be grilled, boiled, and even fried. No matter how you prepare it, the result will always be mouth watering and delicious , and can serve as a nice side dish in any healthy meal. I prefer my corn grilled with the husk on, cleaned and coated with butter then sprinkled with a touch of salt. It helps to keep it moist if you leave it submerged in water for an hour before grilling.

Ohio is known for it's corn produce, it's so damn cheap. You can buy 8 for $1 sometimes.

3 cans of hairspray right?

Im sure soon with 1 bitcoin you can buy a farm \o/ and then infinite corn:)

Re steem!!

I leave the husk on and wrap it in tinfoil. They taste so much better this way than when I boil or steam them. I never thought of soaking the ears in water beforehand so thank you for this.

where are your reference?

and certainly the burning that results from grill can't be good.

with all the pollution in the air, breathing is not healthy, should we try to hold our breath until an expert tells us it's safe to breathe?

The burning is actually very good for you. Its just carbon and its the same as taking "activated" carbon (given for detoxification)

Wow.. this is common on the streets in Lagos, Nigeria. I didn't know it was this useful for the body. Now I know better, thanks ..

it is common on streets of many countries I visited. It is also served in carnivals in the US.

Really. Honestly I thought it was only eaten in Africa. I am so surprised!

Hahaha...nice comment @lucashunter
Guess this is the season for roasted corn and pea in lag😋

Wow, great post, i like a corn 🌽, very important for our health, i like the grilled one, and sometimes i boil it in salted water, have a lot of benefits.

I love to grilled corns, but I am lazy. I bake sweet corn in oven. Indeed corns are one of the healthy and tasty grains.

For those wondering:
There are 123 calories in 1 large ear of Corn. Calorie breakdown: 11% fat, 76% carbs, 13% protein.

Not bad if you don't drench it in butter. Try to add more salt than butter for flavor!

Great looking char on that corn! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to reading more content.
