Topic: What is the difference between yellow corn and white corn? Many people don't understand, and their knowledge has increased
Summer is the season of melon and fruit, because the sun is full and the rain is abundant. All kinds of fruits and vegetables grow particularly well. The price is also relatively cheap. Corn is also an indispensable delicacy in this season. When buying corn, we also found that corn has many colors, yellow, white, and flower. So what's the difference between these corns? Which one is more nutritious? Let's take a look.
First of all, whether it is yellow corn or white corn, or uncommon flower color corn and black corn. These are different varieties of corn. According to the purpose of differentiation, it can be divided into the following four categories.
1. Sweet corn. This corn contains more water-soluble polysaccharides and vitamins. It is easier to absorb by our body. Usually sweet corn is yellow. Because the sugar content is relatively high, it can be eaten directly or cooked to eat, and the taste will be sweeter and tenderer. Sweet corn can also be used to make canned corn, and can also be used to make a variety of delicious dishes.
2. Burst corn. This type of corn belongs to a more special type and is less common. There are white and yellow ones. Its keratin endosperm content is relatively high, and the moisture in the starch grain will explode if it encounters high temperatures. This corn is usually used to make popcorn.
3. Waxy corn. The taste of this corn is relatively soft and waxy and rich in manganese zinc. Waxy corn is also called sticky corn. More common, there are white decors, black taste is more contact. But the sugar content is not very high. Except directly. In addition to being cooked to eat, it can also be used to grind into powder to make various pastries.
4. Corn for oil pressing. High-oil corn has a relatively high oil content and can be used to squeeze corn oil. It can also be eaten after cooking. Corn with an oil content of more than 8% can be said to be high-oil corn. The protein content of high-oil corn is also relatively high.
The nutritional value of different corn will also be different:
Yellow corn is rich in lutein and also contains a lot of vitamins. Vitamin A can play a role in protecting vision, which is particularly good for our eyes and can also enhance memory. White corn, on the other hand, has a relatively smaller vitamin A content. But white corn contains a lot of vitamin E.
Other nutrients, yellow corn and white corn are not much different, containing some trace elements such as lecithin and lysine, as well as minerals and proteins. Corn contains more dietary fiber, and this fiber is a carbohydrate that cannot be absorbed by the body. Eating some corn in moderation can help the body eliminate some junk substances that accumulate in the intestine. The calorie content of corn is still relatively low, not only delicious but also not easy to gain weight.
The above introduces the difference between corn from the three aspects of taste, nutrition and variety. Understand clearly, when buying, you can choose according to your own needs.
