Benefits and Nutritional Information of Corn Ice Cream
Corn ice cream is not only a delicious and refreshing dessert, but it also has some nutritional benefits, mainly due to the presence of corn, which is a food rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Corn contains B vitamins, which help in energy metabolism, as well as antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health.
Another benefit of this homemade ice cream is that it can be prepared without preservatives and artificial colors, making it a healthier alternative compared to industrialized ice creams. In addition, the cream and whole milk ensure a creamy texture and provide calcium, essential for bone health.
However, it is important to consume it in moderation, as it contains sugars and fats, which can contribute to an increase in calories in the diet. On average, a 100g portion of corn ice cream contains around 200 to 250 calories, depending on the ingredients used. To reduce the calorie content, you can replace the condensed milk with unsweetened versions or use skimmed milk.
For those on a diet, the ideal is to consume ice cream as an occasional treat, without overdoing it. Another tip is to combine it with fresh fruit, such as strawberries or coconut slices, to make the dessert more balanced. In addition, avoiding excessive consumption at night can be a good strategy for maintaining a healthy diet.
Enjoy this wonderful ice cream with awareness and balance!
