Mealie is the South African term for corn, usually referring to sweet corn. Field mealie is planted in the spring in temperate zones and is water efficient, meaning that its shallow roots allow water absorption more easily than other types of small grains. With very little maintenance, mealie is harvested typically between late summer and mid-autumn. Then it is turned into mealie-meal or flour to create a base that is the main staple of the diet in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

A person who only eats mealie-meal and spinach only for a whole year is likely to suffer from which deficieny disease?

A person who consumes only mealie-meal and spinach for a whole year is likely to suffer from multiple nutrient deficiencies. While mealie-meal provides some carbohydrates, it lacks essential proteins and fats, leading to protein-energy malnutrition. Additionally, although spinach is nutrient-rich, it may not provide adequate amounts of vitamins such as B12 and D, or minerals like iron and calcium, potentially resulting in deficiencies such as anemia or scurvy. Overall, a lack of dietary variety can lead to severe health issues over time.
