An Unlikely Health Food: Corn Smut
Many people are always looking for the next healthy food obsession. It appears that the latest health food craze might come from an unlikely source: corn smut.
Huitlacoche, a gray-black fungus that grows in Mexico and is affectionately referred to as "corn smut," is now believe to have a wide range of nutritional benefits due to the minerals and unique proteins that it offers. Farmers refer to it as "devil's corn," since it has the ability to eliminate five to ten percent of a corn crop. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars trying to eradicate what was once believed to be a fungus with no positive benefits.
While huitlacoche is bad for corn protection, however, it is good for nutrition. It attacks corn and forces the husks to explode, but this process creates new nutrients such as lysine, an essential amino acid that is needed to fight infections in the body and to strengthen bones. Corn does not contain any lysine, but huitlacoche contains a high amount of it. In addition, huitlacoche also contains a great amount of beta glucans, soluble fiber that is known for cutting cholesterol. In fact, it contains more beta glucans than those found in oatmeal.
Due to these new findings, chefs around the world are quickly learning how to incorporate huitlacoche into healthy meals. Some popular preparations of huitlacoche include chopped with onions and corn kernels and then placed on a steaming corn patty; stuffed into chicken breasts; added to a quesadilla; or blended into a tamale masa and then stuffed into a roasted chili. Huitlacoche is more expensive to produce and to sell than sweet corn. An ear of huitlacoche costs about 40 cents to produce, while an ear of corn costs less than ten cents to produce.
It remains to be seen whether huitlacoche or corn smut will turn into the next big health craze in the United States.
