Full Answer. An ear of sweet corn has just 0.5 gram of fat with less than 0.1 gram of saturated fat, and it boasts just 3 milligrams of sodium. It has 14.1 grams of carbohydrates and 1.3 grams of dietary fiber, which both translate to approximately 5 percent of a person's recommended daily intake.
Ear Size Determination. Row number and kernel number per row are two of several yield components in corn. Typically, from 750 to 1000 ovules (potential kernels) develop on each ear shoot. The number of kernel rows multiplied by the number of kernels per row determines total kernel number per ear. Actual (harvestable) kernel number per ear averages between 400 and 600. For a 16-row ear, one kernel per row is equal to about five bushels per acre (for average populations). Like so many other processes in the corn plant, kernel row number determination on an ear proceeds in an acropetal fashion (from base to tip).
