Key ingredients 3
Ground corn flourNeutral
Ground corn flour is a staple ingredient in many traditional foods, providing carbohydrates and some fiber. It is typically processed to remove the germ and bran, which reduces its nutritional content compared to whole corn. While it serves as a base for taco shells, it lacks significant nutritional benefits beyond basic energy provision.
Benefits
Provides carbohydrates for energy and a small amount of dietary fiber.
High oleic sunflower oilVery Bad
High oleic sunflower oil is a type of seed oil high in monounsaturated fats, but it is still classified as a seed oil, which is heavily processed and high in omega-6 fatty acids. The extraction and refining processes can involve high heat and chemicals, potentially leading to the formation of harmful compounds. Despite its higher oleic acid content, it is not considered a healthy fat compared to alternatives like olive oil.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
Benefits
Contains monounsaturated fats which are generally considered better than polyunsaturated fats found in other seed oils.
