About Chicha

Chicha is a traditional fermented or non-fermented beverage originating from Latin America, particularly popular in Andean cultures. Made from ingredients like maize, quinoa, or other grains, its preparation and flavors vary across regions. Often naturally sweetened with fruits, molasses, or panela, Chicha provides a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals from its base ingredients. Fermented versions may contain alcohol, which should be consumed in moderation, while non-fermented varieties offer hydration and nutritional benefits. High in fiber and nutrients like B vitamins and iron, Chicha can support digestion and energy. However, certain recipes may include added sugars, which can contribute to higher calorie content. As a cultural staple, Chicha is a flavorful and versatile drink that bridges tradition and refreshment.
