Corn is a decent source of
vitamin B1, B5, C, E, folic acid,
magnesium and phosphorus.
It is considered to be low in
protein, due to the minimal
content of the amino acids lysine
and tryptophan. On the
contrary, it is a good source of
complex carbohydrate, fiber,
and healthful essential fatty
acids.

carotenes contained in corn, are
responsible for the different
colors of its different varieties.
