Baby sweetcorn is the immature cob of maize, eaten whole. The figures here describe baby sweetcorn stir-fried in rapeseed oil. It provides fat from the cooking oil, alongside carbohydrate, fibre and some protein. Per 100g, it contains 6g of fat, 5.4g of carbohydrate, 2.8g of fibre and 187µg of folate.
Folate helps the body make red blood cells, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The amount of oil used in stir-frying affects the fat and energy content, which is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. The listed salt content is trace, although adding salt or sauces can increase this. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
