About Garlic-flavored corn nuts

Garlic-Flavored Corn Nuts are a crunchy snack made from whole corn kernels that are roasted or fried and seasoned with a savory garlic coating. This popular treat draws inspiration from Latin American cuisine, where toasted corn is a traditional snack often enjoyed for its bold flavor and satisfying texture. Ingredients typically include whole corn, vegetable oil, garlic powder, salt, and other spices to enhance the taste. Corn nuts are naturally gluten-free and provide a source of fiber and some essential nutrients like iron and magnesium. However, due to their preparation, they can be high in sodium and fat, especially if fried. While they make for a flavorful, energy-packed snack, moderation is key. Their addictive crunch and robust garlic taste make them a favorite for snacking, though those watching their salt or fat intake may want to opt for smaller portions to balance their diet.
