About Mexican corn
Mexican corn, known as "elote," is a popular street food rooted in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally, elote is grilled or boiled corn on the cob, slathered with mayonnaise, sprinkled with cotija cheese, and dusted with chili powder or paprika, then finished with a squeeze of lime. Packed with flavor, elote is celebrated for its vibrant combination of creamy, spicy, and tangy notes. Corn itself is high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, providing digestive health benefits and supporting the immune system. However, the toppings can add significant calories, saturated fats, and sodium levels, so moderation is key for those monitoring their dietary intake. Variations of elote, including lighter versions using olive oil or Greek yogurt, allow for healthier options while maintaining its essence. A quintessential comfort food, elote reflects the rich culinary traditions of Mexico and is enjoyed by food lovers worldwide.
