Product Details
Properties and Benefits of Millo:
- Rich in Dietary Fiber: Corn or millet is an excellent source of fiber, which helps maintain healthy digestion, prevents constipation and promotes intestinal health.
- Source of Complex Carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy due to its high content of complex carbohydrates, making it an ideal food to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
- High in Antioxidants: Contains antioxidants such as carotene and lutein, which help fight free radicals and protect eye health, reducing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Essential Vitamins and Minerals: Corn or millet is a good source of B vitamins, such as thiamine and niacin, essential for energy metabolism and brain function. It also provides minerals such as magnesium, iron and zinc.
- Gluten free: Millet is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, offering a nutritious alternative to gluten-containing grains.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: The phytonutrients present in millet, such as ferulic acid, have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
- Promotes Cardiovascular Health: The fiber and antioxidant content of millet contributes to the reduction of LDL (bad) cholesterol and improves cardiovascular health, helping to prevent heart disease.

Selection tips
Here are some tips for selecting millo:
- Green and Fresh Leaves: Choose ears with fresh, green outer leaves. Dry or yellowed leaves indicate that the corn has been too long since harvested.
- Firm and Full Beans:The kernels should be firm, full and aligned in even rows. Avoid ears with wrinkled or soft kernels, as this can be a sign of aging or poor quality.
- Bright color:Look for ears with bright, uniform-colored kernels. The beans should be golden or yellow, depending on the variety, and without discoloration.
- Weight and size:Select ears that feel heavy for their size. This usually indicates that they are full of juicy, fresh grains.
- Without Gaps:Make sure there are no gaps or empty spaces between the grains. Holes may be an indication that the corn has not fully developed.
- Fresh Smell:Corn should have a fresh, sweet smell. Avoid ears that have a sour or moldy smell.
- Nail Test:If possible, perform the nail test: press a pimple with your nail and see if a milky liquid comes out. This indicates that the corn is fresh and at its optimal sweetness point.
Conservation
- Refrigeration: Store unshelled corn on the cob in the refrigerator to maintain freshness, preferably in a perforated plastic bag.
- Fast Consumption: Eat corn within 2-3 days of purchase to enjoy its maximum sweetness and quality.
- Freezing: If you need to preserve it longer, blanch the cobs in boiling water for a few minutes, cool them quickly and freeze them.

The best corn cob I've tried in a long time. Tender, with a sweet and natural flavour, nothing like the ones sold in the supermarket. Perfect for stews, casseroles or even grilled. You can tell it's organic and of good quality.
