Sesame cornmeal balls
Overview
Corn is a staple food material and is recognized as a golden crop in the world. Its fat, phosphorus and vitamin B2 content ranks first among cereal foods. The vitamin content is 5-10 times that of rice and wheat. It also contains a variety of trace elements that other rice types cannot match. Dietary fiber corn is rich in cellulose, which not only stimulates intestinal peristalsis and prevents constipation, but also promotes cholesterol metabolism and accelerates the excretion of intestinal toxins. The greatest contribution of corn to mankind is that it is rich in pigments that dye corn into golden color - lutein and zeaxanthin (a type of carotene). Although they are not nutrients, they function better than nutrients. They are powerful antioxidants that can protect the photosensitive area called the macula in the eye and prevent the occurrence of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. The macula is a tissue located in the center of the retina that controls vision. Due to aging, when the fat in the macula is oxidized, damaged and destroyed, macular degeneration, vision loss, and even blindness may occur. Lutein and zeaxanthin, with their powerful antioxidant effects, can absorb harmful light entering the eyeball and keep the macula healthy. But it should be noted that only yellow corn contains lutein and zeaxanthin, but white corn does not. Therefore, taxi drivers, primary and secondary school students, editors, writers and other people who often use their eyes should eat more yellow corn.
