Preservation of vitamins: Grilling preserves the B vitamins and minerals of corn better than boiling or pan-frying.

Fiber: It aids digestion and regulates bowel movements. However, excessive fiber consumption can cause bloating.

Blood sugar levels: Due to its high starch and sugar content, corn should be consumed in moderation, especially by people with diabetes, as it can raise blood sugar levels.

Digestive problems: Roasted corn can cause bloating or gastrointestinal upset in some people.

Corn preparation and purchase criteria:
Risks related to seasoning: Excess salt, butter or fatty sauces can destroy the nutritional value of corn.

Dangers associated with street vendors: poorly popped popcorn may contain harmful bacteria or smoke residues (benzopyrenes).

Avoid burnt beans: black beans can contain carcinogenic compounds. Always choose golden beans.

Tips for healthy eating: Healthier seasonings: Instead of butter, use olive oil, lemon juice, paprika or chili for more flavour without saturated fats.

Balanced meal: Serve the corn with a salad or lean protein for a complete and healthy meal.
