Corn polenta is a creamy, versatile dish made from coarsely ground cornmeal, water, and often salt. Originating in Northern Italy, polenta is a staple of Italian cuisine, traditionally served as a comforting side or main dish. Its simple ingredients make it naturally gluten-free, appealing to those with dietary restrictions. Cornmeal, the base of polenta, is a good source of carbohydrates for energy and contains small amounts of fiber and protein. It also provides essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. However, traditional recipes often include butter, cream, or cheese, which can increase its fat and calorie content. When prepared with minimal added fats and served alongside vegetables or lean proteins, corn polenta can be part of a balanced and nourishing meal.
