About this record
Raw kernels of yellow sweet corn, the vegetable eaten fresh, not the dried field corn milled into flour. Per 100 g: 86 kcal, 18.7 g of carbohydrate with 6.3 g of sugars, 2.0 g of fiber, 3.3 g of protein and 1.4 g of fat, with 76% water. USDA measures include a cup of kernels (145 g, 125 kcal) and the yield of a medium ear (102 g, 88 kcal, 19 g of carbohydrate).
Yellow corn is a notable source of lutein and zeaxanthin, 644 µg per 100 g, the pigments that give the kernels their colour; white corn has far less. Folate is 42 µg (11% of the Daily Value) and vitamin C 6.8 mg. The 2024 Foundation record linked below analysed mixed yellow and white kernels with sample data.
