Pumpkin Flower
Flor de Calabaza can be cooked or eaten raw. It can be used as an ingredient in various soups creams and salads. It can also be filled, battered, and fried.
The flowers have a subtle taste, reminiscent of young zucchini, and can also be eaten raw. Pumpkin flowers are widely used in Mexican cuisine, especially in the center of the country, since pre-Hispanic times. In fact, pumpkin is the first plant cultivated in Mesoamerica, as the oldest record of its use dates from about 10,000 years ago (in Oaxaca). They are also called zucchini flower or, in the Oaxacan dialect, guallas. The pumpkin flower is one of the most popular flowers consumed in Mexico. Very popular are pumpkin flower quesadillas, which are corn tortillas filled with cheese, flower and onion, and are usually flavored with epazote. The pumpkin flower is also chopped and included in tamales and broths.
Huitlacoche
The name huitlacoche is Nahuatl, which is the language of the Aztecs still spoken by more than a million people in Central Mexico today. Utilizing this ingredient also dates back to this time. Corn, or maize, was a staple in the Aztecs’ diet, and they used the corn truffles mainly in tamales and stews.
The Native American Hopi and Zuni tribes have also worked with huitlacoche from the get-go. The former called the truffles “nanha,” and the latter held the ingredient in such high standing they say it symbolized the “generation of life.” In fact, huitlacoche has been an important food for indigenous peoples of the Southwest for centuries. So much so that the truffles have ceremonial, culinary and medicinal uses. As far as the healthfulness aspect is concerned, huitlacoche offers more protein than regular corn and has high amounts of lysine, an essential amino acid not found in normal kernels.
Piloncillo
Who doesn’t have sweet tooth once in awhile? We all crave a yummy dessert, some sweet treats, or a little something with sugar on top.
Mi Huerta makes their very own sugar cane called Mi Huerta Piloncillo. It’s name means “little pylon” because of it’s shape. It is 100% natural and made from pure, unrefined sugar that is pressed into a cone shape. The sugar cane cones are 8 ounces and are usually very hard. However, once cooked with ingredients desired, it tastes very much like brown sugar with a molasses flavor (even though it does not contain molasses). You can use it for anything that calls for brown sugar.
In order to cook with Mi Huerta Piloncillo correctly, there is one important process. Chopping piloncillo is one of the most efficient ways to break it up. Use a sharp, serrated knife in a slicing motion to scrape and chop the Mi Huerta Piloncillo. A few bigger chunks may break off during this process which you can further chop, or just leave the chunks in depending on what the recipe is for. If you are going to make a syrup, the chunks will dissolve down. If you are making something like Atole (Mexican hot drink), you will want minimal chunks as the piloncillo won’t have as much time to dissolve.
Our Mi Huerta Piloncillo is well packaged, easy to use and delicious. No other sugar has our pure, authentic taste and natural qualities.
