About Coal-roasted corn

Coal-roasted corn is a flavorful snack or side dish often associated with street food in various cultures, particularly in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa. This dish features whole ears of corn roasted over open flames or hot coals, imparting a smoky, charred flavor while retaining the natural sweetness of the kernels. It's commonly seasoned with a squeeze of lime, a sprinkle of salt, and chili powder or other spices, enhancing its taste. Nutritionally, coal-roasted corn is high in fiber, aiding digestion, and contains vitamins such as B6 and C, along with antioxidants like lutein, beneficial for eye health. However, depending on seasoning choices, sodium levels may increase. This cooking method preserves corn’s natural nutrients without additional oils or fats, making it a wholesome, low-calorie option for snacking. When paired with moderate seasoning, it’s a simple, nutrient-rich choice for those seeking a healthier bite.
