Why Don’t We Care If Jimmy Cracked Corn?
You might remember the old children’s song Blue Tail Fly with the words “Jimmy Cracked Corn and I Don’t Care”. Did you ever wonder why he didn’t care? Corn is a good source of fiber, vitami B1, folate Vitamin B5 Vitamin C, Phosphorous, Manganese as well as a nutrient called beta-cryptoxanthin? I seriously doubt that while singing the song Burl Ives thought about all the nutritional value of corn and the sweetness of this grain when he first preformed this song in the US way back in 1840.
