Cornbread is a popular baked good originating from Native American cuisine and has become a staple in Southern cooking. Typically made from cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder, it has a hearty, slightly sweet flavor. Variations may include sugar or honey for added sweetness, while others incorporate savory ingredients like cheese or jalapeños. Cornbread is rich in carbohydrates and provides dietary fiber due to its cornmeal base. It also offers essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. However, depending on the recipe, cornbread can be high in added sugars and fats, especially when butter or oil is included. Its dense texture and quick preparation make it a versatile side dish, often served with chili, soups, or barbecue meals. Cornbread can be modified with whole-grain or reduced-fat ingredients to boost its health profile while retaining its comforting taste.
