Corn is high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects cells from damage and helps prevent diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Yellow corn is high in the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for eye health and can help prevent cataracts by preventing lens damage. Vitamins B, E, and K, as well as minerals like magnesium and potassium, are found in smaller amounts in corn. Color is important when it comes to nutrients. Natural chemicals called phytonutrients, which carry antioxidants, are found in plant pigments. As a result, white and yellow corn contain fewer antioxidants than blue and purple corn.
