About Ixim

Ixim, derived from the Mayan word for corn, is a versatile ingredient central to Mesoamerican cuisine and diets. Made from dried and finely ground corn, it serves as the base for staples like tortillas, tamales, and other traditional dishes. Rich in carbohydrates, Ixim provides a reliable energy source and contains fiber, essential vitamins like B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Its complex carbs contribute to sustained energy, making it ideal for active lifestyles. While naturally gluten-free and low in fat, dishes made with Ixim can vary in nutritional content depending on preparation; additional fats, oils, or toppings may affect overall health benefits. As a whole grain, it promotes digestive health and supports heart health when minimally processed. This nourishing ingredient has been a cornerstone of indigenous and Latin American culinary traditions for centuries and remains a dietary staple in cultures around the world.
