Fruit corn is a kind of sweet corn, which can be eaten raw or cooked like fruit. The protein and vitamin contents of fruit corn are 1 ~ 2 times higher than those of common corn, and the selenium content is 8 ~ 10 times higher, so it is easy to digest and absorb. Although it has high nutritional value, it is also a high-sugar food, with a total sugar content of about 30%, which is about twice that of ordinary fruit and even higher than watermelon. Most of them are sucrose and glucose, which easily leads to an increase in blood sugar. It is not recommended for ordinary people to eat it often, and it is best for diabetics not to eat it.
