Braai Spiced Corn Recipe

Dig into this South African-inspired spiced corn recipe for a fiery side dish that is sure to spice up every meal. Yellow corn is a great source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids that are essential for good eye health and the prevention of degenerative eye conditions like macular degeneration.

Spiced corn is also an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fibre to support healthy bowel movements and gut health. Soluble fibres act as prebiotics as they are fermented by intestinal bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids that help support the growth of beneficial bacteria and the integrity of the gut lining.
