Corn preparation and purchase criteria:
Risks related to seasoning: Excess salt, butter or fatty sauces can destroy the nutritional value of corn.
Dangers associated with street vendors: poorly popped popcorn may contain harmful bacteria or smoke residues (benzopyrenes).
Avoid burnt beans: black beans can contain carcinogenic compounds. Always choose golden beans.
Tips for healthy eating: Healthier seasonings: Instead of butter, use olive oil, lemon juice, paprika or chili for more flavour without saturated fats.
Balanced meal: Serve the corn with a salad or lean protein for a complete and healthy meal.
