About Mais

Mais, commonly known as corn, is a nutrient-rich cereal grain originating from Central and South America, where it has been a dietary staple for thousands of years. It plays a central role in cuisines worldwide, from Mexican tamales and tortillas to American corn-on-the-cob and polenta in Italian dishes. Packed with vitamins like B6 and folate, corn also contains minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin promote eye health. Corn is naturally gluten-free, making it a versatile option for individuals with gluten sensitivities. While it is a healthy carbohydrate source, it’s important to consume it in moderation, particularly processed versions like high-fructose corn syrup or fried corn snacks, which can be high in added sugars or fats. Enjoy fresh corn for a nutrient-dense, wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
