About Pazole

Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew made from hominy, meat (commonly pork or chicken), and seasoned with flavorful ingredients like garlic, onion, and various chilies. Toppings like shredded lettuce, radishes, lime, and avocado are often added for freshness and texture. Originating from pre-Hispanic times, pozole has deep cultural significance and is commonly enjoyed during celebrations or family gatherings. Nutritionally, pozole is a well-rounded dish providing protein from the meat and fiber from the hominy. Its vitamin-rich garnishes add nutrients while keeping it light and balanced. However, the healthiness of pozole can vary based on preparation. Traditional versions may include fatty cuts of meat or a high salt content from the broth and seasoning. Opting for leaner meat and controlling sodium levels can make it a more heart-friendly meal while preserving its rich, traditional flavors.
