About Maize flour flatbread
Maize flour flatbread is a simple, nutritious staple made primarily from finely ground cornmeal, water, and occasionally a touch of salt or oil. This gluten-free bread, widely associated with Latin American, African, and South Asian cuisines, has a dense texture and mildly sweet, earthy flavor. Rich in dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, maize flour flatbread promotes digestion and sustained energy levels. Its naturally low-fat content makes it a heart-healthy choice, though toppings or preparations with added oil or butter may elevate calorie levels. Served alongside stews, curries, or grilled vegetables, it is a versatile and wholesome alternative to wheat-based bread. However, it’s worth noting that maize flour itself can be less nutrient-dense than whole grain flours, making balanced pairings crucial for a well-rounded meal. Perfect for gluten-sensitive eaters, this flatbread unites tradition and health on every plate.
