Sweet Corn

Corn is a good option for vegetarians and vegans who want to consume more protein from non-animal sources because it has a greater protein content than many other vegetables. A diet high in protein may help in maintaining a healthy weight by either decreasing appetite or encouraging the body to burn more calories, according to some research.

You might be surprised by the amount of protein you’ll actually get from corn. The following proteins are found in corn, according to the USDA:

• 3.5 grams per 1 medium ear
  
• 3.4 grams per 100 grams
• 7.1 grams per 200-calorie serving

Corn is an affordable and accessible source of calories, carbohydrates, and protein. Despite technically being a grain, corn is gluten-free. As a result, corn is a safe option for those who want to include grains in their diet but have celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
