What it is

Corn is a grain that grows on stalks. It is a staple food crop grown in many parts of the world. The kernels can be eaten fresh, dried, or processed into various forms like cornmeal, corn syrup, and corn oil.

Why it's used

Corn and its derivatives are used in a wide variety of foods. Corn syrup is a common sweetener, while cornstarch is used as a thickener. Corn is also used to make cornmeal for baked goods and as a filler or texture enhancer in snacks and candies.

Health notes

Corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. High-fructose corn syrup, a common derivative, has been a subject of debate regarding its role in metabolic health, though scientific reviews suggest its effects are similar to those of other caloric sweeteners. JECFA has evaluated corn syrup and set acceptable daily intakes. Whole corn is a source of fiber and nutrients.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
