Eating Corn Another Way
If you go to a Mexican-style restaurant, before serving, the waiter will bring a plate of nachos spread out with a Mexican-style dipping sauce, which is a free pre-dinner snack.A popular snack in the West, nachos are tougher, crispier, and saltier than other common potato chips.
And you'll find them delicious just after a few times.Nachos are delicious, and their main ingredient is tortillas. Corn tortillas are made from corn, vegetable oil, salt, and water. The kneaded corn dough is first cut into triangles and then fried or baked, resulting in tortilla chips.
Nachos are not only delicious, but also healthy, let's take a look at their nutritional benefits!
1. Good for health
Because corn is a crude fiber food, it can eliminate people's hunger after eating, and corn flakes can promote digestion, which is a good food.
2. Protect your eyes
Corn seeds are rich in zeaxanthin and carotene, which are all ingredients to protect the eyes. Eating more corn flakes can relieve macula and vision loss.
3. Prevent constipation
Due to the continuous improvement of people's living standards, a large number of indigestible foods such as sweets, and lack of exercise, many people will suffer from constipation. The dietary fiber of corn flakes can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
4. Prevention of heart and brain diseases
Another special effect of corn is that it can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. That is because corn is rich in nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins.
These nutrients can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood and prevent cardiovascular.
5. Anti-cancer
Corn seeds contain selenium and magnesium, these two trace elements have good anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, so people who eat corn often have a much lower risk of cancer than those who don't eat corn.
The triangular shape of tortilla chips is slightly harder than potato chips, and the surface also has a little curvature, which is the most suitable for dipping sauce. So nachos usually come with a guacamole.Whether it's nachos or guacamole, it's easy to make at home, let's learn together!
