The corn peel is boiled in water very NG! Chef teaches healthy and delicious cooking methods to preserve nutritional value and sweetness

Corn is rich in carbohydrates, plant-based protein, dietary fiber and vitamins. It has a high nutritional value. It is a good time to taste sweet corn in summer. How to cook the skinned corn you buy from the market or supermarket? Japanese nutritionist and cooking expert Yui shared the correct way to cook corn in the article, and can preserve the flavor and precious nutrients of corn through small tricks.

Disadvantages of boiling corn with squids

Some people may remove the green crust of corn first and then boil it directly. However, from the perspective of nutrition, this cooking method will cause the corn's nutrients to be lost in boiling water, especially water-soluble vitamins and natural sweetness to be wasted.

In addition, the lack of rind protection will be reduced, affecting the appearance and edible taste.

Steamed corn is more delicious and can retain nutritional value

Instead of boiling in water, nutritionists recommend cooking corn by steaming. The specific process is as follows:

1. Wash the corn with clean water, remove the crust that is more fragrant and grassy, ​​leave 2 to 3 thin inner skins, cut into two and a half or put into steamed pot.

2. Add water to the steaming pot and add corn. First add hot water over high heat until the boiling pot, and then steam over medium heat for 10 minutes.

3. Remove the corn peel and some people will remove the corn flakes, but in fact, corn flakes contain rich nutrients and can be eaten directly if you don’t mind the taste.

After steaming, just sprinkle with a little salt to enjoy delicious and sweet corn. If you are not eaten immediately, be careful to wrap it with a heat-resistant and fresh film while the corn is still hot. The purpose is to prevent the water from evaporating. After it is cold, put it in a sealed bag to refrigerate.

Cooking and preserving corn through the above methods can not only leave nutritional value, but also keep the moisture and sweetness of the corn. Even if it gets cold, you can still taste the full taste and natural sweetness.
