This breed of corn is actually picked before the maturing stage. This makes it low in starch content which means lower sugar and carbs. Plus, “100 grams of baby corn has only 26 calories” ( 1 ). That is about 40 calories less than standard sweet corn meaning you can eat more keto cornbread without the guilt!
If your diet strictly limits carbs, eat only a half a cob instead of the whole cob. Fresh or Canned Corn is good for you, but it should be eaten in moderation while following a low carb diet. You can safely consume a ¼ cup serving of corn on Keto, which contains only 7.5 grams of carbs and still remains well within your daily carb limit.
This roasted sweet corn recipe uses canned or frozen corn with your favorite seasonings to kick up the flavor. Allows extra time in the oven after roasting to help the corn become toasted and crunchy. Makes a delicious snack or side dish- or use roasted corn kernels as a tasty salad topping.
(Pureed cauliflower makes a great substitute for creamed corn and makes your chowders extra thick and creamy.) Enjoy a ¼ cup serving of canned corn niblets (7.5 grams of carbs) or 1/2 a cob of fresh sweet corn (11 grams of carbs) as a side dish to go along with your favorite Protein and Vegetable Entrées.
