Corn drink, also known as atole or chicha depending on regional variations, is a traditional beverage popular in Latin American and Indigenous cuisines. It is typically made by blending ground corn or cornmeal with water or milk, then sweetened with sugar, honey, or piloncillo. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla are often added to create a warm, comforting flavor profile. Corn drink is rich in carbohydrates, making it a source of quick energy. It contains essential vitamins like B6 and folate, thanks to the corn base, and can be fortified with calcium and protein when prepared with milk. However, its high sugar content may make it less suitable for those monitoring their sugar intake. Enjoyed warm or cold, corn drink is a versatile and nourishing treat linked to cultural traditions across various regions.
