Enhanced Nutrient Accessibility and Digestibility
Grinding corn significantly enhances its nutritional value by improving the accessibility and digestibility of its nutrients. When corn is ground, the cell walls that encapsulate the nutrients are broken down, making these nutrients more available for absorption by the body. This is particularly beneficial in animal nutrition, where the digestibility of feed directly impacts growth and health. For human consumption, this means better nutritional intake from corn-based foods, contributing to healthier diets and improved well-being.
