Corn Griddle, often referred to as a corn cake or tortilla, is a versatile dish popular in Latin American cuisine, especially in Mexican and Central American traditions. Made primarily from masa harina (finely ground corn flour) or fresh corn, it is combined with water and occasionally salt to create a dough, which is then shaped and cooked on a hot griddle or comal. Corn Griddles are naturally gluten-free and offer a good source of carbohydrates, making them a high-energy food. They also provide fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin B6. However, their healthiness can vary based on preparation, as adding excessive oil, butter, or toppings like cheese and sour cream can increase fat and calorie content. Typically enjoyed as a base for tacos or as a standalone snack, Corn Griddles represent a delicious and culturally rich staple food in a balanced diet.
