Tag: Mielies

According to the USDA, 100g of yellow maize grain contains 9.42 grams of protein, confirming that mielies have protein. However, understanding the quality of this protein and how it contributes to a balanced diet is a more important consideration for health-conscious individuals.

Approximately 60-70% of corn produced worldwide is used for animal feed, but the whole grain form remains a popular staple for human consumption. Mielies, as maize is known in Southern Africa, are a versatile and nutrient-dense food, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
