Healthy, because
The maize from the maize buffers supports muscles and nerves: For a well-functioning musculature and an intact nervous system we need, among other things and especially magnesium, and maize can really score points here. Already 100 grams of corn contain a good 34 percent of our daily requirement!
Even smarter
The corn buffers are also great for dipping - how about an avocado dip with diced tomatoes from EAT SMARTER?
