　　Corn grits are rich in nutrients. In the United States and other developed countries, corn has been ranked as the top health-promoting cereal food, often referred to as the “golden crop.” Research has found that corn contains large amounts of lecithin, linoleic acid, grain alcohol, vitamin E, fiber, and more, offering various health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, reducing blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, guarding against colon cancer, enhancing beauty and skin health, and slowing aging.
