Eat Your Veggies

I prefer to eat my veggies seasonally the way nature intended.  This is why candy CORN is eaten in the Fall and jelly BEANS are eaten in the Spring.
Here are a few facts about Autumn's favorite Veggie:

  • October 30th is National Candy Corn Day (You only have today and tomorrow to get prepared for this celebration!  Hurry!)
  • One serving of candy corn contains only about 140 calories (See HEALTHY!)
  • Candy corn has 3.57 calories per kernel (But who could eat just one?)
  • More than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That equates to nearly 9 billion pieces -- enough to circle the moon nearly four times if laid end-to-end. (Don't be shy, there's plenty for everyone)
  • Halloween accounts for 75% of the annual candy corn production (As it should be)
  • A cup of candy corn has fewer calories than a cup of raisins. (See again, HEALTHY! Why eat raisins when you can have CORN?)
  • Candy Corn has 0 Fat. (Hurray!)
