Nutritional Benefits

Purple pozole corn (maíz pozolero morado, also called rojo) is a large-kerneled dried corn with a deep, natural color and a slightly nuttier flavor than white pozole corn. It is naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and provides fiber and carbohydrates for hearty meals, while its purple-red hue comes from the corn's natural pigments.

The large kernels bloom tender as they simmer, making a beautiful showpiece for festive pozole and menudo.

How to Cook

Rinse the hominy and, if starting from fully dried kernels, soak overnight. Simmer in plenty of water or broth for 2 to 3 hours until the kernels swell and turn tender, topping up liquid as needed.

Once tender, build it into your pozole or soup of choice; the purple color deepens the finished dish beautifully.

Recipes

Día de Muertos Pozole – Feature the colorful kernels in a celebratory pozole with traditional garnishes.
