Maissi, also known as maize or corn, is a popular cereal grain that originated in Mesoamerica and is now enjoyed worldwide. Packed with carbohydrates, it’s an excellent energy source. Maissi contains fiber, which supports digestive health, and is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, folate, magnesium, and certain B vitamins. Yellow corn also provides antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. A versatile ingredient, maissi is found in many global cuisines — from tortillas in Mexican dishes to corn on the cob in American barbecue. While fresh or steamed maissi is a healthy choice, processed versions like corn syrup, chips, or popcorn may be high in sugar, sodium, or unhealthy fats. Incorporating natural, minimally processed maize into meals can provide nutritious benefits and delicious flavor.
