About Posole
Posole is a traditional Mexican soup celebrated for its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. At its core, posole combines hominy—dried corn kernels treated with alkaline water—with tender pork or chicken in a savory broth. Often flavored with garlic, onion, and dried chilies, it’s served with an array of fresh toppings such as shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado, lime, and cilantro, adding bursts of texture and color. As a dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, posole carries both cultural and nutritional value. Hominy is a good source of fiber and provides essential carbohydrates. Protein from meat adds substance, while the vegetables and garnishes contribute vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. However, depending on preparation, posole can be high in sodium or fat due to the broth and meat choices. Opting for lean cuts and controlling seasoning ensures a more balanced version of this comforting, heritage-rich meal.
