Are You Getting Enough Roughage?

Corn is a good source of thiamin, folic acid, phosphorus, vitamin C, magnesium and dietary fibre or "roughage."



"Corn is a food that gives us plenty of chewing satisfaction, and its high ratio of insoluble-to-soluble fiber is partly the reason."

But its "insoluble fiber is tops at tackling common digestive ailments (like constipation and hemorrhoids) by absorbing water, which swells the stool and speeds its movement."
