Step by Step

1
Pour enough water into a pot; it is necessary for the water to completely cover the corn.
2
Once the water begins to steam, add the dry cacahuazintle corn (previously washed with water).
3
Add a piece of slaked lime to the preparation; its function is to whiten the corn, allow the grain to burst, separate the skin from the grain, and help make the corn easier to digest. This process is known as nixtamalization. Let the corn cook for 2 1/2 hours (for half a kilogram).
4
Done! Now you have the grain ready to use in various preparations, such as: traditional pozole, green pozole, and white pozole from Guerrero.
