Corn itself is naturally gluten-free. However, canned corn may not always be gluten-free due to potential cross-contamination during processing or the addition of gluten-containing ingredients, so it’s important to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm if a specific brand of canned corn is gluten-free.
Good source of fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness
Contains essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, thiamin, and folate
Provides antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which may support eye health
Low in fat and cholesterol-free
Offers a convenient way to include vegetables in your diet
Contains complex carbohydrates for sustained energy
Rich in ferulic acid, an antioxidant that may have anti-cancer properties
Provides some protein, contributing to muscle health and repair
Generally lower in sodium compared to many other canned vegetables (but check labels)
Can be a good source of potassium, which is important for heart and muscle function
May help support a healthy gut microbiome due to its fiber content
Often more affordable and has a longer shelf life compared to fresh cornRemember that while canned corn offers these benefits, it’s best to choose low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties when possible, and to consume it as part of a balanced diet.
People with corn allergies or sensitivities
Individuals on a low-sodium diet (unless choosing low-sodium varieties)
Those with digestive issues sensitive to high-FODMAP foods
People trying to reduce their intake of added sugars (some brands may contain added sweeteners)
Individuals following a very low-carb or ketogenic diet
Those with concerns about BPA exposure from can linings (though many brands now use BPA-free cans)
People with specific dietary restrictions that exclude corn (e.g., certain autoimmune protocol diets)
Individuals trying to avoid genetically modified foods (unless the corn is labeled organic or non-GMO)
Those with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
People following a whole food, plant-based diet that excludes processed foodsRemember that for most people, canned corn can be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
