What is Corn, and what are its health benefits?
Corn is a cereal grain, botanically classified as a fruit but is considered a starchy vegetable. Corn is high in fiber and is a good source of carbohydrate for those who have diabetes or are at risk for getting Type 2 Diabetes.
Cooking Tips: Corn can be boiled, roasted or grilled.

Special thanks to all of the farmers and food producers working so hard to feed our communities; to the staff, volunteers, donors, and ReFresh families who make the program work, and to our partners at MoGro who pack these beautiful ReFresh bags each week for us, and who do so much important work connecting communities to healthy food throughout New Mexico. There would be no ReFresh program without all of you – we love our partners!
