Maize
- Nutrient-Rich: Maize is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy for your body. It's also packed with fiber, important for digestion and gut health.
- Eye Health Hero: Yellow corn's rich pigments, lutein and zeaxanthin, act as powerful antioxidants, protecting your eyes from harmful blue light and potentially reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
- Digestive Friend: The fiber in maize keeps your digestive system running smoothly, promoting regularity and preventing constipation.
- Blood Sugar Management: While maize contains carbohydrates, it has a moderate glycemic index, meaning it releases sugar into your bloodstream slowly.
- Gluten-Free Option: For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, maize is a great alternative to grains like wheat and barley.
