The scientific name for corn is *Zea mays*. The name Zea comes from the ancient Greek word for grain, while mays originates from the indigenous Taíno word “mahiz,” which was adopted into Spanish as “maíz” and then into modern taxonomy. Over time, Zea mays became the accepted botanical term to distinguish corn as a staple crop cultivated globally for both nutritional and industrial uses. Corn fibre is a natural derivative of this plant, extracted to harness its functional properties in food and healthcare applications.
Corn fibre is a naturally sourced dietary fibre produced from the kernels of Zea mays. It is generally obtained through processes that extract soluble fibre while retaining important functional components. In healthcare, corn fibre is recognised for its contribution to digestive health, satiety, and long-term weight management. It has become a common inclusion in nutritional products, particularly those designed to support balanced energy intake and improve gut function.
Kissed Earth includes corn fibre in its Sculpt Meal Replacement Shakes range, available in flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon bun, mango, banana, caramel, and strawberry. Within these formulations, corn fibre functions as a gut-friendly ingredient that provides soluble fibre to support digestive health. It works alongside organic green banana resistant starch and plant-based proteins to promote satiety, reduce cravings, and deliver sustained energy.
By incorporating corn fibre, the Sculpt shakes help individuals maintain control over their weight loss journey without compromising on balanced nutrition. The inclusion of naturally derived fibre contributes to digestive comfort, steady energy release, and prolonged fullness. This aligns with Kissed Earth’s approach of integrating natural, functional ingredients to deliver products that support both health outcomes and daily lifestyle goals.
