Canned corn is a very healthy product in terms of dietary value.

However, many people think that it should only be used in salads, which is not true.

Nutritionists say that you can eat this corn straight from the can. But only if you don’t overdo it and consume it in moderation.

The second key condition is to know how to choose a really good product, that is, to look at what is included in its composition.

The fiber contained in canned corn improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition, the product is low in calories and contains almost no fat.

How to choose correctly

To choose a really good product, carefully read its composition (it should be indicated on the packaging).

And the composition is as follows: sweet corn, water, sugar and salt.

It is better not to buy a product with preservatives, flavors and colorings.

When and how much to eat

As for the time of consumption of such corn, it can be eaten at any time, including in the morning and evening.

But in the evening, nutritionists recommend combining it with foods rich in proteins and fats, such as cheese or nuts.

Experts urge people not to get carried away with canned corn – the optimal portion is 100-150 grams.

In this case, you are guaranteed to feel energetic (natural sugars in the product are responsible for this).

For a quick snack, no-cook canned corn is ideal.
