Maize
Maize is a great source of dietary fiber, promoting gut health, aiding digestion, and keeping you feeling full longer.
Maize boasts a good amount of B vitamins, essential for energy metabolism and nervous system function.
Yellow maize is rich in carotenoids, like lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as antioxidants and protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts.
While often considered a starchy food, certain types of maize, like popcorn and sweet corn, can be good choices for those managing diabetes due to their lower glycemic index compared to refined carbohydrates.
