Gabriela Cámara Teaches Mexican Cooking

It’s hard to overstate the historical, cultural, and nutritional importance of corn in Mexico. Gabriela This overview will give you an idea of the main ingredient, its heirloom variety, and the process for nixtamalization to make masa.

[MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER – Corn has a sacred significance in Mexico. It’s essential for the survival of the people in this area of the globe, making it the most important ingredient of food. It’s a small crop in America. It’s a single variety. It’s yellow and sweet and delicious. You also have organic varieties that are better than the others.

You don’t need to dry the corn, then grind it into a dough that you can use to make tortillas, tamales, atole, or any other items made from dried corn. The only way to keep corn fresh is to dry it.

So, we have a tradition where the best seeds are saved, planted before the rainy season begins, prepared the land, and harvested them in fall and early autumn to make sure you have your next crop. We think we have catalogued about 60 varieties of heirloom Corn.

They continue to discover new species and families. Here are a few examples of Mexican heirloom corns. As you can see, there are many colors and they vary greatly. Different regions of the country produce different kinds of corn. This is an example of a mix of black and white corn. This is the type blue corn. This is a type of red corn.

This is a beautiful and diverse array of colors and forms. It’s a circular end, you know. These have a pointy ending. You have maíz cónico, which finishes in like a little cone shape. You have then the bolita which is round. These are also known as colloquial terms. However, you can then use all your scientific names.

I want to make sure you notice the difference between all the colors. This is because these corns were made from mixing different corns–the white and red. This type of tie-dyed corn isn’t tied dyed but is very similar to mixed. This rounder and more transparent corn is more common. It is because farmers want thicker corn that is longer to maximize their yield.

It’s very easy to remove. It’s easy to do: you just peel it. Then you get all the good stuff. This is what you should do if you want all your seeds. You can also use starchier corns to make a fluffy masa if you wish. And it’s amazing to see how communities react. People use at least three to four varieties of corn, and sometimes even one particular meal.

They use one for atole, which is a drink. They use another one to make the tortillas. Another one is used for pazole. They then use another one to make a new preparation. A tlacoyo is possible. You can have. You can have – you can make tortillas with fillings or little packets to eat.

I will also show you some of these items. It is becoming very difficult for the communi to cultivate heirloom corn.
