I don't honestly know the official definition of veggie vs grain, but in my mind, grains must be cooked before they can be eaten (we are incapable of digesting them raw) and veggies can be eaten raw. Since you can eat sweet corn raw, I consider it a veggie. Dent corn is definitely a grain.
Or...that's how *I* classify it anyway. Of course, it's certainly a starchy veggie (like peas) so it's not the most nutrient dense choice, but still...better for you than french fries!
And for the record, I don't like 'real' mac & cheese - too creamy for me. I only like the fake Kraft stuff and only if made with skim milk and no butter. Again, I'm weird.![]()
