About Humita
Humita is a traditional dish from South America, particularly popular in countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. Made primarily from fresh corn, it combines creamy, ground maize with onions, spices, and sometimes cheese, all wrapped and steamed in corn husks. This flavorful dish is naturally gluten-free and provides essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the corn. The addition of onions and spices enhances its nutritional profile with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, variations that include cheese or added fats can increase calorie and saturated fat content, making portion control important for those monitoring their intake. Humita is a versatile dish that celebrates fresh, whole ingredients while offering a comforting and nutritious option in traditional South American cuisine.
