Nutritional values

There is a good reason why corn is also called "sweet corn": the yellow grains contain dextrose, fructose and sucrose. Together with the abundant fibre, they provide a high nutritional value and lasting satiation.

Much faster than rice and a great alternative especially for sensitive stomachs: Rice flakes - also popular as baby food. They are made from the steamed, rolled grains.
