Canned corn kernels (creamed or not!) are nutrient-rich, containing a variety of B-group vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin C. A trio of nutrients which support a healthy immune system and promote sustained energy production to fight fatigue. These easy fritters are full of dietary fibre, thanks to plenty of vegetables and wholemeal flour, helping to keep us regular and support good gut health, a critical component of the immune system.
