Slice of cornbread is a classic baked good with origins in Native American and Southern U.S. cuisine, celebrated for its warm, slightly crumbly texture and rich corn flavor. The basic ingredients include cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk or buttermilk, and a touch of sugar, with variations incorporating butter, oil, or honey for added richness. While it provides essential nutrients like fiber and B vitamins from cornmeal, its health profile depends on preparation; traditional recipes can be high in calories, fat, and added sugar. However, lighter versions focus on whole-grain cornmeal and reduced sweeteners, making it a more wholesome option. Cornbread is versatile, pairing well with soups, stews, or smoked dishes, and is often chosen for its comforting taste and cultural significance.
