Cornbread is a traditional baked good that originates from Native American and Southern United States cuisines, often enjoyed alongside hearty meals. Made primarily from cornmeal, its basic ingredients typically include flour, baking powder, eggs, milk or buttermilk, and a source of fat such as butter or oil. Cornbread is known for its dense, crumbly texture and subtly sweet flavor. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides energy and contains fiber from the cornmeal, supporting digestion. Cornmeal also offers essential nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins. However, depending on the recipe, cornbread can include added sugars and fats that may contribute to higher calorie counts. While delicious fresh out of the oven, its nutritional profile can vary widely based on preparation methods, making portion control key for maintaining balance in a healthy diet. Cornbread remains a versatile and satisfying addition to meals across many cultures.
