Fermented Corn Dough
Fermented Corn Dough is a prepared dough made from fermented maize (corn) used across Latin American cuisines for tortillas, tamales and other staples; fermentation (and traditional nixtamalization where used) gives it a distinctive aroma and improves digestibility. Nutritionally it is primarily an energy source, supplying about 30g of carbohydrates per 100g with modest protein and low fat, and it also contains small amounts of B vitamins (like thiamine) and minerals such as magnesium. As a fermented grain product it can be more digestible and filling than plain refined corn, with reasonable fiber-related satiety, though it is not a rich source of complete protein or antioxidant pigments.
