Tamale

Tamale is a traditional Mesoamerican dish of masa (corn dough) usually filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables, wrapped in a corn husk or banana leaf and steamed; it is a staple in Mexican and Central American cuisines and commonly served at festivals and family gatherings. Nutritionally it provides a modest amount of protein — about 6.8g per 100g — along with carbohydrate-rich masa and some fiber from the corn and fillings. As a prepared, processed-style food it can be a satisfying, portable meal with a reasonably good amino-acid profile from combined masa and fillings, but it is lower in vitamins and protective plant compounds than whole, unprocessed plant foods; choosing lean or vegetable fillings and reducing added fats can improve its nutritional balance.Read more
