Sweetcorn is a vegetable, and these figures describe raw kernels removed from the cob. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and fat, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, the kernels contain 8.1g of carbohydrate, 3.4g of protein, 1.8g of fat and 8mg of vitamin C.
Carbohydrate supplies energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin C helps the body form collagen and absorb iron from plant foods. For people monitoring salt or saturated fat intake, these figures refer to plain raw kernels; adding salt, butter or sauces changes the nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
