Is corn on the cob ok?

[cornonthecob]

I had 4 ears of it yesterda, it was so good! But is it ok to eat that much of it? I know it's raw, but it is a carb...

[bodaflower]

don't worry about "carbs" or whatever else it has
if corn sets well with you and you feel good eating it, have a blast!
it's really just about what feels good for your body

[bodaflower]

it is a hybrid food, though, if you eat it make sure you either grow it yourself or get it locally, especially go for good varieties like heirloom purple

just make sure its organic and non-gmo (corn is very likely to be)

i love it!

No........ Corn on the cob is not ok.

If you cook it, it's not raw.

It depends on your body - how do you respond to it:rolleyes:
What time of day are you consuming it? How's your body's metabolism?
Do you have any wieght goals? if none of these are a concern to you, then yes don't sweat eat as you please.

I've been making a divine mango-tomatoe-greens gazpacho and adding raw corn and other chopped veggies after I take the base out of the VitaMix. The corn has taken the Gazpach to a whole other level.

YUM!!:p

I adooorrre corn yumyum...
just eat it raw from the comb...

I first tried it raw when my bf's mum bought it to cook for the family.. and I asked if she could leave me one uncooked... she gave me a weird look and I just smiled... didn't know what to expect of it lol... But i tasted it and it was even sweeter than the cooked one... wow ! I love it ^_^

Lots of kisses to all the corn lovers heehee :D

I've eaten 20-30 cobs in a day before (lol, I was oh so addicted to the stuff for about 2 wks, it was almost all I ate), and I was still losing weight at a good pace ... but, every body is going to react to things differently, so you have to be the judge for yourself.

So RAW corn on the cob is ok? I had 1 cob yesterday (cooked it) but before I did, I took a few bites and WOW it is GOOD raw!

[PATH301]

IMHO sweet corn is the best tasting, just skin it wash it off, start munching:D

i LOVE raw corn.

if i get tired of picking it out of my teeth by eating from the cob, i do the following:

cut the kernels off of 4 to 6 ears of corn, put in a bowl.

add any quantity of chopped veggies you want - i like peppers, radishes, scallins or onions, cukes, tomatos, daikon, etc.

toss the whole mess together with your favorite salad dressing, chill for a day for all the flavors to "get happy", grab a fork, and get busy.

this is also very good as part of a walnut meat taco instead of salsa. i just make sure the dressing ingredients echo the walnut meat taco seasonings - ie - chili, cumin, jalapeno, whatever.

yum.
