DIETITIAN NOTE: A corn cob has around 15g carbohydrate per 100g, so weigh your corn if you are calculating carbs. However, the carbohydrate in corn varies hugely depending on the variety, the freshness, and what part of the season it is, so this is an estimate. How much carbohydrate we actually absorb from corn varies widely, so if you are new to diabetes and have a blood glucose meter, check how much it raises your blood glucose.
