The grill is calling! And we’re more than willing to answer.
Our culinary star vegetable guest this summer is corn. A universally popular grain, which is not only versatile, but also scores with grandiose nutrients.
100g of corn already covers a third of our daily requirement of magnesium, a mineral particularly important for well-functioning muscles and an intact nervous system. In addition, corn regulates the fluid balance and supports our bodies in regulating blood pressure.
But most importantly, corn is delicious! It tastes particularly good from the grill and even more so in combination with juicy beef and classy pepperoncini butter. You want proof? Then get out the grill tongs!
