About Milho

Milho, commonly known as corn, is a versatile cereal grain native to Central America and widely celebrated in global cuisines. It is a staple ingredient in dishes such as tortillas, polenta, cornmeal, and succotash, offering a mildly sweet flavor and satisfying texture. Corn is rich in carbohydrates, making it a valuable energy source, and provides dietary fiber to support healthy digestion. It contains essential nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which contribute to eye health. While fresh or minimally processed corn is a wholesome addition to the diet, caution is advised with heavily processed products like corn syrup or fried corn snacks, which can be high in added sugars and unhealthy fats. Whether roasted, boiled, or ground into flour, milho remains a nutritious and adaptable food cherished for its flavor and health benefits across diverse culinary traditions.
