🌽 Ever wondered just how versatile corn can be? Whether you’ve noticed it or not, it’s likely woven into your daily diet in ways you’d never suspect! If you’re aiming to monitor your corn intake, due to allergies or sensitivities, you might want to take a closer look at your food labels.
You’ll find corn products in:
🌽 Cereals, syrups, jam/jelly, candy, soft drinks, juice cocktails or blends, infant formulas.
🌽 Staple foods like tortillas, tamales, corn chips and polenta often use corn flour as a primary ingredient.
🌽 And if you’ve ever wondered about the secret to the perfect pudding or sauce, cornstarch is often the answer—it’s used as a thickener and stabilizer.
🌽 Fast food lovers, take note—corn may also be present as a protein “filler” in ground meats or nuggets, in lunch meats, or included in baked goods or breadings.
đź“ťBut, take note, corn might be hiding under different names! It may be listed as corn meal, hominy, grits, maltodextrin, sorbitol, vinegar, popcorn, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, dextrose, glucose, fructose, or a myriad of others.
