Sweet Corn Fritters

Sweet corn is a type of maize which contains more sugar than any other maize varieties. Sweet corn is packed with protein, dietery fibre, carbohydrates, thiamine, vitaminA, Vitamin C and folates. Other than vitaminC all the other nutrients in sweetcorn remains intact even after cooking.

Since sweetcorn is good source of folate it reduces homocysteine level in the body. Homocysteine is responsible for many heart diseases. Studies have shown that adequate consumption of folate could reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. To read more about sweet corn click here.
I used to buy canned sweetcorn everytime which is handy and makes life much easier but this i saw in market some fresh sweetcorn, i got them and i just steamed it. It tasted so amazing, far better than the canned ones. I almost finished more than half of the sweetcorn before making the recipe, so if possible try to use the fresh one which increases the taste of this fritters.
