    Corn is high in starch, high in carbohydrates but it does have nutritional value. It is a good source of many nutrients including thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. Corn's contribution to heart health lies not just in its fiber, but in the significant amounts of folate that corn supplies. It supports lung health as well.

    Corn does have nutritional value. From what I know, it is a great source of protein, carbs as well as fibre. I don't know about allergies or about the body not digesting it. Probably something to do with starch? But sweet corn that we have today has less strach. Eitherways, I know corn does have good nutritional value. Hope someone else can second that!

    Not a lot. I understand it's healthiest either canned or frozen. The fresh ear loses it's nutritional value very quickly.

    does it even matter?

    It goes out the same way it went in - so it appears that the nutritional value (if any) goes right through one...
