About Corn with cheese

Corn with cheese is a savory dish combining sweet corn kernels and melted cheese, often enhanced with seasonings like chili powder, lime juice, or mayonnaise. This popular street food has roots in Mexican cuisine, where it is commonly served as "elote," and variations can be found globally, adapting to local flavors. The dish offers nutritional benefits, as corn is a rich source of dietary fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Cheese contributes protein and calcium, essential for muscle and bone health. However, its nutritional profile can become less healthy depending on portions of cheese or added toppings, which can increase saturated fat and sodium levels. Moderation and mindful preparation can make Corn with Cheese a flavorful, occasional treat that balances taste and nutrition.
