About Green pozole

Green pozole is a traditional Mexican soup celebrated for its vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients. Its base is made from hominy, a type of corn kernel treated with an alkaline process, and a green sauce crafted from tomatillos, green chilies, cilantro, and garlic. Lean cuts of chicken or pork are typically used, though vegetarian versions often substitute beans for protein. Rich in vitamins C and K from the tomatillos and cilantro, green pozole offers antioxidants and immune support. The soup is often garnished with fresh lettuce, radishes, onion, lime, and avocado, boosting its nutrient profile. While its broth is light, some variations may include higher sodium levels, depending on seasoning and stock used. Green pozole is a hearty yet relatively low-calorie dish, making it a nutritious comfort food that reflects the depth of Mexican cuisine while providing essential nutrients.
