Sweet Corn Chutney

Today I am giving to you a different recipe from sweet corn.This is sweet corn chutney. I got this from food magazine. It was good to taste along with any flavored rice. Actually I ate as it is without any rice. It was nice. In this I have used sweetcorn, carrot, onion and some spices.This is very healthy dish. I am giving some healthy information about sweet corn and carrots.

Sweet corn has vitamin B1, vitamin B5, vitamin C, folate, phosphorus, dietary fiber, and manganese.The significant amount of folate corn supplies helps in maintaining a good health for our heart.For these various reasons, the consumption of sweet corn is very necessary, as it has so many health benefits. It is a good idea to include sweet corn as a staple part of your diet to a considerable extent so as to maximize the benefits that you can glean from this rich food source. Beta carotene that gives the sweet corn its rich orange, red color may also avert signs of lung cancer and promote lung health. A moderate consumption of sweet corn may help children with increasing brainpower and memory. This is because thiamine (a component of Vitamin B) helps promote increased memory.Studies reveal that sweet corn may actually provide more nutrition than most vegetables and fruits. However, how you choose to consume sweet corn is important too. Most sweet corn recipes call for additional butter and salt. Therefore, while sweet corn is good for your heart, cooking it in fat may render its nutritional value void. 

Carrot is energizing and antiseptic.Eating carrots will encourage healthy skin, hair, bones, eyesight and will also cleanse the body.Another benefit of carrot is on people with heart problem. It is believed that carrot may reduce risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.
