About Pozole roja
Pozole Roja is a traditional Mexican stew known for its rich, flavorful taste and vibrant red color. The dish features hominy—a type of dried corn treated with an alkali—paired with tender cuts of pork or chicken, and simmered in a broth made with earthy red chili peppers, garlic, onion, and spices. Often garnished with crunchy shredded cabbage, radishes, cilantro, lime, and avocado, pozole is a celebration of bold, layered flavors. Its origins trace back to pre-Hispanic times, where it held ceremonial significance. Pozole Roja offers a hearty source of protein and fiber from the meat and hominy, while the fresh, raw toppings provide vitamins and antioxidants. However, its calorie content can be higher due to the fatty cuts of meat and generous seasonings, so portion control is key for balanced nutrition. A popular comfort food, this dish combines tradition and nourishment with every spoonful.
