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.
Between 2.2 and 2.9 billion pounds of sweet corn are produced annually in the United States. Over the past ten years, national production has fluctuated around 260,000 acres. Acreage in Pennsylvania has declined by about one-quarter during that time to around 16,000 acres annually. Nationally, the sweet corn crop is worth $750-850 million per year.
