About Boiled mais

Boiled maize, often referred to as boiled corn-on-the-cob or simply boiled mais, is a globally enjoyed staple, particularly popular in African, South American, and Caribbean cuisines. This nutrient-rich food provides a good balance of carbohydrates, small amounts of protein, and essential vitamins like B-complex and folate. Packed with dietary fiber, boiled maize is excellent for digestive health and provides sustained energy. Its naturally sweet flavor comes from natural sugars, making it a satisfying snack or side dish. It’s low in fat and contains no cholesterol, making it heart-friendly. However, adding excessive butter or salt can increase calorie and sodium content. Mais is gluten-free, making it suitable for people with gluten intolerance. Whether eaten plain, seasoned, or paired with other ingredients, boiled maize is a wholesome and versatile food that celebrates simplicity and nutrition.
