White Corn

الوصف

This is a dried white corn, which is also known as maize. It is from the northern region of Nigeria. 

Here are some of the benefits of maize. 1. Provides energy
Corn grits contain starch, a form of carbohydrate, which is a good source of energy. In some countries, corn rice is used to substitute rice as the staple food to provide energy.
  2. Promotes eye health
The rich carotenoid content in corn grits, particularly lutein and zeaxanthin, promotes eye health. Studies show that these compounds promote better vision, lower the risk of cataracts, and slow down macular degeneration. These phytochemicals also protect our eyes from ultraviolet rays that harm our eyes.

Corn grits are also rich in Vitamin A, which protects our eyes from night blindness and age-related eye problems. 3. Boosts immune system
Regularly consuming corn rice can help boost your immune system. The Vitamin B6 content of corn grits strenghtens our immunity by making new red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout our body.

Stone-ground grits also contain Vitamin C  and Vitamin A, which boost our immunity and protect us from infections. 4. Helps prevent anemia
Anemia happens if your body is not receiving enough oxygen for your muscles and tissues to work efficiently. If you are anemic, you can benefit from eating corn grits. They contain iron and folate, which are both essential in combatting anemia. Iron helps your body make enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in your red blood cells that carry oxygen to your body tissues. Folate, on the other hand, aids your body in making more red blood cells.
