Corn Cup is a popular street food snack made from fresh corn kernels served in a cup, often enhanced with a variety of seasonings and toppings. Originating from Latin American cuisine and embraced globally, this dish typically features boiled or steamed corn mixed with butter, salt, and cheese or chili powder for a savory twist. Some versions include lime juice, mayo, or herbs to amplify flavor. Corn is a rich source of fiber, vitamins B and C, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. While the corn itself is naturally low in fat and nutritious, calorie counts can rise depending on the added butter, cheese, or mayonnaise. For a lighter option, it can be prepared with olive oil, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime. Corn Cup is a versatile, satisfying snack that balances indulgence with health when prepared mindfully.
