Creme de Milho Verde, or Brazilian Green Corn Cream, is a beloved dish from Brazilian cuisine, often served as a comforting side or light meal. Made from blended corn kernels, milk, butter, and a touch of flour, this creamy dish highlights the natural sweetness of fresh corn. Some versions include cheese or cream for added richness. Corn, the star ingredient, provides fiber, essential vitamins like B-complex, and antioxidants like lutein. While it’s a nourishing source of energy, the addition of butter, cream, and cheese may increase its saturated fat content, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Enjoy it warm, garnished with fresh herbs, for a delightful, hearty dish that combines flavor and nutrition while celebrating Brazil’s love for corn-based recipes.
