About Charred corn

Charred Corn is a flavorful dish often associated with Mexican cuisine, where street vendors serve it as "elote" or "esquites." Prepared by grilling or roasting whole ears of corn until the kernels are lightly blackened, this process enhances its natural sweetness while adding a smoky depth. Typically, charred corn is served with toppings like lime juice, chili powder, fresh herbs, or cotija cheese, but it can also be enjoyed plain. Nutritionally, corn is a good source of dietary fiber, essential for digestion, as well as vitamins such as B6 and antioxidants like lutein, which support eye health. Though naturally low in fat, added toppings like butter or cheese can increase calorie and fat content. When prepared simply, charred corn makes a healthy side dish rich in flavor and nutrients, while still being versatile enough to suit various dietary preferences.
