What is this food?
AI-assisted Corn pudding (maja), yellow. It’s a sweet, creamy dessert made mainly from corn and usually includes sugar and dairy/creamy ingredients.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Per 100g, it provides energy from carbohydrates (27.6g) and some fiber (2.2g), which can help you feel satisfied. However, it’s also relatively high in sugar (16.3g) and saturated fat (1.15g). Sodium is low (13mg), and cholesterol is 0mg, which is good. Since it’s a dessert-type food, it fits best when eaten in planned portions—especially if you already have rice, bread, or noodles in your 3 full meals.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep it as a snack or dessert, not a main meal—try 1 small serving (about 50–100g) after a meal.
- If you’re making it at home, reduce added sugar (or use less condensed/added sweeteners) and add more corn for natural sweetness.
- Pair with something that adds balance: a glass of milk or yogurt (if it fits your day) or fresh fruit on the side.
- Watch the rest of the day’s carbs: if you had rice at lunch, choose lighter carbs for snacks (e.g., fruit or nuts in small portions).
- For a healthier swap, consider using less saturated-fat ingredients (like lighter dairy or less butter/cream) while keeping the texture.
