Chef's Notes
Corn is rich in fiber and plant compounds that may aid digestive and eye health. Yet, it's high in starch, can spike blood sugar and may prevent weight loss when consumed in excess.
Dill leaves contain an essential oil known as Eugenol, which has far-reaching therapeutic use in treating various diseases. Several research studies have proved that this herb lowers blood sugar levels and insulin resistance in people suffering from diabetes.
