Q:  I see your newest flavor is ‘Corn in the USA.’  What are the nutritional benefits of corn?

A: Corn in the USA™ is a tasty purée simply made from American sweet corn, picked at the peak of ripeness. Just like the whole Tastybaby line, Corn in the USA™ is blast frozen to retain vital nutrients & vitamins and is packaged in convenient, portable, re-sealable, single-servings which continue Tastybaby’s commitment to being “green,” with recyclable & biodegradable packaging materials. With a flavor even adults will love, this new addition to the Tastybaby line will have the whole family rockin’ out to the sweet summery taste of Corn in the USA™!

Energy Alert: The Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) in corn, along with the folate, helps our bodies release energy from the foods we eat — and babies definitely need to get every bit of energy they can get to support all that important growth and development!

Fiber-ific: The fiber in corn doesn’t just help to keep things moving smoothly through babies’ developing digestive tracts. It also keeps blood sugars more stable and significantly reduces insulin levels, which can decrease the risk for developing type 2 diabetes! Jam-packed with antioxidants: The antioxidant activity of corn is higher than most other whole grains as well as lots of fruits and veggies. Antioxidants help keep our bodies functioning at their very best by fighting harmful pests called “free radicals” that can cause cancer and heart disease.

Fantastic folate: Just 1/2 cup of corn contains almost half the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of folates for babies 7-12 months old and 2/3 of the RDA for babies up to 6 months old. Getting adequate folate is associated with a decreased risk for cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.
