Cornbread is a Southern essential that's been on American tables since colonial times. At 196 kcal per 100g, it delivers quick energy from 33g of carbs along with iron (2.2mg) and calcium (60mg). The golden cornmeal base gives it that distinctive slightly gritty texture and sweet, earthy flavor. Northern-style tends sweeter with sugar and flour; Southern-style is more savory, baked in a cast-iron skillet with bacon drippings for a crispy crust. It's the perfect companion to chili, BBQ ribs, or a bowl of collard greens. Crumble leftovers into stuffing for Thanksgiving or slice them for next-morning toast with butter and honey.
