CORN AND ITS BENEFITS
Corn (Zea mays L. ssp. mays), is a cereal crop cultivated in the Central American region and later spread throughout the Americas. Corn was introduced to Vietnam from China.
Corn contains vitamin A and E, as well as glutamic acid. Animal experiments have shown that these components have anti-aging effects. Corn is also rich in cellulose, which not only stimulates bowel movement and prevents constipation but also promotes cholesterol metabolism and facilitates the elimination of toxins from the intestines.
A study has shown that among all types of grains, corn has the highest nutritional value and health benefits. In particular, its vitamin content is 5-10 times higher than that of rice and wheat. Corn also contains other anti-aging components such as calcium, glutathione, vitamin A, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E, and fatty acids.
Benefits of corn:
Digestive stimulation: Corn is rich in fiber, preventing constipation and digestive issues. Consuming corn also helps alleviate irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and prevents the absorption of fat into the bloodstream.
Anemia prevention: Corn contains a significant amount of iron, an essential mineral for the production of new red blood cells.
Good for heart health: Corn oil is a rich source of healthy fatty acids, including Omega-3 fatty acids, which help eliminate harmful cholesterol from the body. Consuming corn helps prevent artery blockages, thus lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Increased energy: Corn contains a high amount of carbohydrates, providing ample energy for the body. Eating corn ensures proper brain and nervous system functioning.
Cholesterol reduction: The abundant presence of vitamin C, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids in corn keeps your heart healthy by controlling cholesterol levels and promoting blood circulation. Corn oil has the ability to reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol in the body.
INTRODUCING CORN POWDER AND ITS USES
Corn powder is a fine powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is commonly used in cooking and baking. Corn powder is used to create thickening and binding properties in various dishes. Unlike wheat flour, corn powder thickens after it is cooked.
When using corn powder, it is important to note that it should be added and stirred in at the final stage of cooking when the dish is already cooked or simmering. In baking, cornstarch can be added along with the flour. It is not recommended to add corn powder directly to acidic liquids such as lemon juice, vinegar, apple juice, or orange juice, as it will not thicken properly.
Uses of Corn Powder
The main function of corn powder is its thickening and binding properties in cooking and baking. It is commonly used to thicken sauces, soups, puddings, and creams, as well as to enhance the flavor of certain cookies and sponge cakes. Additionally, corn powder is used as an additive in the production of various food and beverage items such as dextrose acid amines, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners. It is also used in coffee processing, where adding about 10% roasted corn powder can provide viscosity, while the remaining 90% is ground coffee.
Corn powder has the benefit of balancing the amount of fat in the blood and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, it's important to note that refined corn powder may have lower nutritional value compared to whole grain corn, as it lacks fiber, protein, and some minerals found in the outer bran and germ of the grain.
Apart from the mentioned uses of corn powder, it also has several other fantastic applications in daily life:
Soothing sunburned skin: In addition to its culinary uses, another benefit of corn powder is its effective and cost-saving treatment for irritated skin. While there is limited scientific research on its soothing properties for irritated skin, many people have used it to soothe sunburned skin and reduce itching.
Eliminating odor and mold with corn powder: Corn powder can effectively eliminate odors from objects. If you prefer not to use chemical-based deodorizers due to potential skin irritation, you can try using corn powder as a natural alternative. Thanks to its excellent moisture-absorbing properties, corn powder acts as a natural deodorizer, helping regulate sweat production.
Cleaning stains on objects: A surprising use of corn powder is its ability to clean and polish various objects such as wooden furniture and household items. Corn powder can also remove tarnish from jewelry by mixing it with a little water to create a thick paste and gently rubbing it onto the surface.
