About Tamal de elote
Tamal de Elote is a traditional dish originating from Mexican cuisine, made primarily from fresh corn (elote), butter, sugar, and milk. Unlike savory tamales, this variation embodies a sweeter, delicate flavor and soft, fluffy texture. Typically steamed in corn husks, it is enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or breakfast item. Rich in carbohydrates due to the corn and added sugar, Tamal de Elote provides quick energy but is relatively low in protein. While corn contributes fiber, vitamins like B-complex, and antioxidants, the added butter and sugar mean it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those mindful of fat or sugar intake. Often paired with coffee or enjoyed on its own, this dish offers a glimpse into the simplicity and sweetness of homemade Mexican comfort food while reminding consumers to balance indulgence with nutritional awareness.
