Maize & Related

Maize and related products (such as cornmeal, maize flour, and corn kernels) are staple foods in many parts of the world, providing a major source of energy and carbohydrates. Maize is rich in complex carbohydrates, which supply the body with long-lasting energy, and it also contains dietary fiber that supports healthy digestion and helps control blood sugar levels. Although lower in protein compared to beans, maize still provides some plant-based protein and essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins (especially thiamine and niacin), magnesium, and phosphorus.
