About Cornbread with butter

Cornbread with butter is a classic dish originating in Native American cuisine, later embraced in Southern U.S. cooking. Cornbread is made primarily from cornmeal, flour, milk, eggs, and baking agents, often paired with butter for added richness. Cornmeal is a carbohydrate-rich ingredient that provides energy, along with trace vitamins such as B vitamins and minerals like magnesium. Adding butter increases the fat content, contributing to flavor and texture. A typical serving provides a moderate amount of calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, balancing energy and satiety.

Health Benefits

• Cornmeal is rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and promotes regularity.
• It contains magnesium, essential for bone health and energy production.
• Butter contains small amounts of Vitamin A, which is vital for maintaining healthy skin and vision.
