Both white and yellow corn have less protein than wheat and lack the
essential amino acids tryptophan and lysine. The kernel contains all the B
vitamins except niacin. If one could be said to be more nutritious than the
other, yellow corn has a slight edge over white corn. Yellow contains
carotenoids including beta-carotene. Some varieties of yellow corn may also
contain more lutein and vitamin A.
Usage
Following the U.S., the world's largest corn producing nations are China,
Brazil and Russia. Most yellow corn is used for livestock feed, whereas
white corn is almost exclusively used for human consumption. Ethanol is also
primarily made from yellow corn. Many nations, such as Mexico and parts of
Africa, do not enjoy the taste of yellow corn, considering it to be too
sweet.
