FOOD: THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CORN (MAIZE)

I've been craving corn literally all year (yes all 3 months). Its just weird how we often crave those things that we simply can't get (absence does make the heart grow fonder). So yes i've been craving corn all year and i was so so excited to finally see corn about a week ago, at the bus stop leading to my house. I was so happy that i stopped and went to the vendor ( a nursing mother, this detail would become relevant shortly). The fact that she had burnt the corn cobs to black perfection did not deter me in the least, i bought my corn and headed home.
