About Maiz
Maiz, commonly known as corn, is a versatile grain native to the Americas and a staple in cuisines worldwide. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides energy and is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Maiz is a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, magnesium, and folate. Yellow corn is especially high in antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. While fresh maiz is nutrient-rich, processed forms like corn syrup and chips are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium. Corn is prominent in dishes from Mexican cuisine, such as tortillas and tamales, to global staples like polenta and popcorn. Embraced in moderation and prepared simply, maiz is a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
