CORN, POSOLE RED OG 1 LB

On the central Pacific Coast of Mexico, Michoacán is the birthplace of corn, where its great grandfather teostine grows wild and Monarch butterflies winter over. Right here, together with the indigenous Purépecha people, corn has evolved into its present day form. This is an ancient seed that has evolved without hybridization. It is hand cultivated at 7,000 ft. elevation and all rain fed. Dried grains of red posole corn are cooked with lime or wood ash, then rinsed thoroughly to remove the outer seed coat as well as any traces of the alkaline ash. This ancient process, called nixtamalization, creates a more nutritious and flavorful grain. When boiling the kernels, they open like a flower. How to Prepare Organic Red Posole: Soak overnight and simmer for at least 2 hours. Season to taste. Organic, Heirloom Quality, Gluten-Free, Macrobiotic, Raw Product of Mexico.
