About Pozole
Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup made from hominy (dried corn kernels treated with lime), meat—commonly pork or chicken—and an array of flavorful seasonings like garlic, onions, and chilies. This hearty dish often includes garnishes such as shredded lettuce, radishes, avocado, lime, and fresh cilantro, providing additional texture and nutrients. Originating from pre-Columbian times, pozole holds cultural significance as a festive dish served during celebrations like birthdays and holidays. Nutritiously, pozole is high in carbohydrates from the hominy and provides protein from the meat, making it a satisfying meal. Toppings like vegetables and herbs add vitamins and minerals. However, depending on preparation, it can contain saturated fats and sodium, especially if made with fatty cuts of meat or lots of salt. Opting for lean meats and moderating toppings can make pozole a balanced choice for a wholesome meal.
