About Corn porridge
Corn porridge, a comforting dish enjoyed in many cultures, is made primarily from ground cornmeal cooked slowly with water or milk to create a creamy consistency. Variations of corn porridge can be found across cuisines—known as "ugali" in East Africa, "polenta" in Italy, or "cornmeal mush" in the Southern United States. This simple dish is a versatile base, often enhanced with salt, butter, honey, or spices. Corn is naturally rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium. As a low-fat food, corn porridge provides sustained energy and supports digestion when minimally processed. However, added sugar, cream, or excessive butter may increase calorie and fat content, reducing its overall healthfulness. Opting for whole-grain cornmeal boosts its fiber profile, making it a wholesome choice for breakfast or an accompaniment to savory dishes.
