About Boiled mais
Boiled maize, often referred to as boiled corn-on-the-cob or simply boiled mais, is a globally enjoyed staple, particularly popular in African, South American, and Caribbean cuisines. This nutrient-rich food provides a good balance of carbohydrates, small amounts of protein, and essential vitamins like B-complex and folate. Packed with dietary fiber, boiled maize is excellent for digestive health and provides sustained energy.
