EVERGREEN SWEET CORN KERNELS
Also known as maize (Zea mays), corn is one of the most popular cereal grains in the world and forms the staple food in many countries.
It is the seed (grain) of a plant from the grass family, native to Central America, but grown in countless varieties throughout the world.
Popcorn and sweet corn are commonly eaten varieties, but refined corn products are also widely consumed, frequently as ingredients in foods. These include tortillas, tortilla chips, polenta, cornmeal, corn flour, corn syrup, and corn oil.
Whole-grain corn is as healthy as any cereal grain, rich in fiber and many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Health benefits of corn include controlling diabetes, prevention of heart ailments, lowering hypertension and prevention of neural-tube defects at birth.
The kernels of corn are what hold the majority of corn’s nutrients, and are the most commonly consumed parts of the vegetable. The kernels can come in multiple colours, depending on where the corn is grown and what species or variety they happen to be. Another genetic variant, called sweetcorn, has more sugar and less starch in the nutritive material.
Corn not only provides the necessary calories for healthy, daily metabolism, but is also a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E and many minerals. Its high fiber content ensures that it plays a significant role in the prevention of digestive ailments like constipation and hemorrhoids as well as colorectal cancer. The antioxidants present in corn also act as anti-carcinogenic agents and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Corn provides many health benefits due to the presence of quality nutrients within. Besides being a delicious addition to any meal, it is also rich in phytochemicals, and it provides protection against a number of chronic diseases.

In line with the efforts towards reducing international environmental concerns, our company is acutely aware of its important role in contributing towards reducing the negative impact of plastic bag pollution to our ecosystems, natural habitats and wildlife.
With regards to this, we have engaged our product’s plastic bag vendor that produce environmentally friendly plastic bag through its incorporation with EPI group of companies – a global technology group and pioneer of oxo-biodegradable additive technology and Totally Degradable Plastic Additive (TDPA).
As a result of this process, TDPA biodegradable bags can then be broken down in the same way micro-organisms would break down “normal” degradable waste into Carbon Dioxide (CO2), water and non-toxic bio-mass. The use of this environmental friendly plastic bag represents another significant step in our growing contribution towards reducing such environmental pollution.
