About Broa de milho

Broa de Milho is a traditional Portuguese cornbread made with a mix of cornmeal, wheat flour, rye flour, water, salt, and sometimes a splash of olive oil for flavor. This rustic bread is commonly found in Portuguese cuisine, often served alongside soups, stews, or cheese. Its dense texture and nutty flavor make it a satisfying staple. Broa de Milho is high in carbohydrates, offering quick energy, and contains dietary fiber thanks to the cornmeal and rye flour, contributing to digestive health. While it can be a source of essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, its nutritional profile may vary depending on preparation methods. It is relatively low in fat, but those watching their carb intake might consider portion sizes. Free from added sugars, it remains a wholesome option for many traditional meals.
