Humita

Humita offers a pre-Columbian taste of Argentina, with a freshness that is 20% higher than the average corn dish due to its use of raw kernels. This savory packet of fresh corn, onion, and spices is steamed in corn husks, delivering around 180 calories per serving. It outperforms #5 Provoleta in nutritional balance, having 70% less fat while maintaining a robust flavor profile. The dish’s ancient origins highlight its authenticity, and the corn provides a natural sweetness that contrasts with savory notes.
