About Granos de elote
Granos de elote, or corn kernels, are a staple in Mexican cuisine and widely used in dishes like esquites, tamales, and soups. This versatile ingredient consists of fresh, sweet corn kernels that are either steamed, boiled, or sautéed. They are naturally low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and a good source of essential nutrients like vitamin C, B vitamins, and magnesium. Corn kernels also provide antioxidant compounds such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. While nutritious, granos de elote can be calorie-dense if prepared with butter, cream, or cheese, common accompaniments in traditional recipes. Opting for lighter preparations without excessive added fats and sugars ensures that this wholesome ingredient remains a healthy addition to meals. Perfect as a side dish or incorporated into salads, Granos de elote are both flavorful and nourishing, celebrating the vibrancy of Mexican culinary traditions.
