It’s the rainy season and the best food that goes with it is our lovely Bhutta (corn). We all have our fond memories of eating Bhutta after an enjoyable moment of bathing in the rain. 

So while your love for Bhutta is pouring out, we want to tell you some of the health benefits that comes with it during monsoon.

As the monsoon season invites many viruses and bacteria to affect our health, eating corn becomes extremely essential because of it’s high content in Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin C that helps fight diseases.

Rainwater can be acidic and may have negative effects on your skin. So eating corn can benefit your skin as it contains high content of Vitamin C.

You are likely to experience eye infections like conjunctivitis, styes during this season. So, eating roasted corn comes as a great saviour to protect eyes and strengthen vision due to the presence of Vitamin A&C in large amounts.

Rain affects your hair by making them frizzy and rough. But eating corn during this time can help the hair strand replenish moisture and promote healthy hair growth.

Falling sick in Monsoon is very common and in order to heal yourself from it, have boiled corn so that it keeps your body warm and because it's rich in carbohydrates, it also boost your energy levels.
