Fresh Rec Stop Recipe of the Month: Creamed Corn

By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader

Creamed corn is a comforting and naturally sweet side dish that celebrates the simple goodness of fresh corn. Packed with fiber, it supports healthy digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Corn is also rich in antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health and protect against cellular damage. The natural corn starch in the cobbs help thicken this dish without the use of dairy. This creamy, wholesome recipe proves that nutritious food can be both satisfying and indulgent.
