Benefits
I have a weakness for cornbread, it’s one of those comfort foods that makes me think of family get togethers and big meals. I love that cornbread can be both delicious and nutritious when made with whole grain cornmeal. It’s a complex carb, energy giving and fiber rich which keeps our digestive system happy. I always recommend adding cornbread to meals as a side, especially when it’s served with soups or chili. Plus it’s so versatile! I like to experiment with different ingredients, like adding herbs or cheese, to give it more flavor while keeping it whole. For me cornbread is more than just a dish, it’s a way to nourish my body and connect with tradition. Here’s some benefits:- Nutrient dense: Cornbread is packed with vitamins and minerals, selenium, thiamin and riboflavin. 16% of daily value of selenium which supports thyroid health and is an antioxidant.
- Supports digestive health: The fiber in cornbread promotes regularity and helps with digestive health. Adds bulk to stools and helps with smooth digestion.
- May reduce heart disease: Whole grain cornmeal cornbread has soluble fiber which has been linked to lower cholesterol and reduced heart disease.
- May help with blood sugar control: Whole grain cornmeal in cornbread can help regulate blood sugar, good for those trying to manage blood glucose.
- Antioxidant rich: Cornbread has antioxidants like carotenoids which have been linked to lower cancer risk and eye health.
