Corn succotash is a colorful and nutritious dish that typically combines sweet corn, lima beans, and bell peppers, though other vegetables like onions or tomatoes are often included. Originating in Native American cuisine, the word "succotash" is derived from the Narragansett term "msickquatash," meaning boiled corn kernels. Over time, it became a staple in early American cooking due to its simplicity and use of accessible, hearty ingredients. Nutritionally, corn succotash is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein, thanks to its mix of beans and vegetables. The vibrant array of ingredients also provides a range of antioxidants, such as lutein and beta-carotene. While healthy overall, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—adding butter or cream may increase saturated fat and calories. A lighter version can be made with olive oil and seasonings to enhance flavor while keeping it wholesome.
