At Juicygreens we are committed to nourish your body and contribute to a healthy lifestyle, while offering high quality food. Eating freshly made food with organic ingredients and full of nutrients is a key part of maintaining this lifestyle, this is why we are introducing freshly milled corn in our arepas! In the world of culinary authenticity, freshly milled corn is making waves, especially in arepa restaurants. This ancient practice of grinding corn just before use is not just a nod to tradition; it’s a game-changer for flavor, nutrition, and overall dining experience.

These are some of the benefits of milled corn compared to using regular store-bought cornmeal:

Nutritional Value
Freshly milled corn is a powerhouse, as it retains more nutrients than processed cornmeal. The milling process exposes the inner parts of the kernel, which can lead to nutrient loss over time in pre-ground cornmeal. This means each bite of your arepa isn’t just delicious with milled corn – it’s also packed with more of the good stuff your body craves.

Flavor and Texture
Freshly milled corn has a more intense, sweet, and complex flavor profile. The natural oils and aromatics are preserved, resulting in a richer taste experience. Foods made with freshly milled corn often also have a better texture – they can be more tender and have a pleasant, slight grittiness that adds character to dishes.

Digestibility
Freshly milled corn may be easier to digest for some people, as it retains more fiber content and the natural enzymes are still active and haven’t been degraded by prolonged storage.

Reduced processing
Freshly milled corn undergoes less processing hence is free from the preservatives, stabilizers, and artificial additives that are often added to processed cornmeal to extend shelf life. This aligns with whole food and minimally processed food principles by reducing the intake of artificial ingredients.

In essence, by choosing freshly milled corn arepa we are not just serving food – we’re offering an experience. We’re connecting diners to tradition, providing superior nutrition, and delivering unmatched flavor. Moreover, the nutritional benefits align with the growing consumer demand for healthier, less processed foods. It’s a simple change that transforms the arepa into a true gastronomic experience.
