About Corn, sweet, yellow, raw
Sweet corn occupies a middle ground between vegetable and grain, and its nutrition reflects that: at 86 calories per 100 grams it is more energy-dense than leafy or watery vegetables. The raw kernels supply 18.7 grams of carbohydrate, including 6.26 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fiber, and 3.27 grams of protein, high for a vegetable. Fat is 1.35 grams and water content 76 percent, the lowest among the fresh produce in this group. Potassium measures 270 milligrams and sodium 15 milligrams per 100 grams. The natural sugars that give sweet corn its name begin converting to starch after harvest, so freshly picked ears taste sweeter.
