TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Sweet Corn Pudding from the Food Network's 33 Best Corn Recipes! When scraping the kernels away from the cob to use in their corn pudding, the Neelys reserve the milky runoff to later incorporate as a natural thickener, along with the milk, heavy cream and cheddar cheese.

According to VeryWellFit's Corn Nutrition Facts,  "Sweet corn, believe it or not, is actually a whole grain—it's a type of grass that is often referred to as a starchy vegetable because of its carbohydrate content. You will often hear whole corn is referred to as a vegetable, whereas ground corn is referred to as a grain.

Although corn contains carbohydrates, it is good for you. In fact, corn is rich in vitamin C, magnesium, B vitamins and carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. Corn contains very little fat, less than 1 gram per serving (without toppings), and is a good source of ​​
fiber, clocking in around 3 grams per half cup."

​ Kohlrabi is a great source of protein, Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B6, Phosphorus, Folate, Thiamine, and Calcium. 

Five Health Benefits of Kohlrabi ....
  • Fights Cancer
  • Improves Heart Health
  • Decreases the Risk of Obesity and Diabetes
  • Lowers Blood Pressure
  • Reduces C-Reactive Protein
