Questioni am from the philippines and in some part of our country corn or rice grains are roasted and then pulverized/powdered and eventually drunk as coffee. what are the benefits one can get from drinking this "corn coffee"
AnswerOne cup of whole-grain corn provides 18.4 of the daily recommendation of fiber and powdered form of it has all the fiber intact and even more bio_available.
However, corn, which is is moderately rich in vitamins, loses the most important of them during any kind of cooking. For example:
- Thiamin (vitamin B1) - high temperatures can destroy thiamin
- Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) - can be lost in any kind of cooking
- Folate - any cooking technique can destroy folate
- Vitamin C - can be destroyed during roasting and boiling
