About Pamonha

Pamonha is a traditional Brazilian dish made from grated fresh corn mixed with milk, coconut milk, or cheese, then wrapped in corn husks and boiled until firm. Originating from the indigenous culinary traditions of Brazil, it is cherished for its rich, natural flavor and versatility, with both sweet and savory variations. Key ingredients include corn, which provides dietary fiber, vitamins like B-complex, and essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. When prepared with cheese or coconut milk, it gains additional proteins or fats, making it more satiating. However, some versions may be high in calories and saturated fats, especially sweet ones with added sugar or savory recipes with fatty fillings. Consume in moderation as part of a balanced diet to enjoy its satisfying taste while reaping the benefits of its nutrient-dense base.
