Red Pozole is a traditional Mexican dish with deep roots in pre-Hispanic cuisine. This hearty, flavorful soup is made with hominy (dried corn kernels that have been nixtamalized), tender pork or chicken, and a rich, spiced broth featuring red chilies like guajillo or ancho. Often garnished with shredded cabbage, radishes, onion, lime, and avocado, it’s a vibrant and aromatic meal served at celebrations or family gatherings. Pozole can be nutritious, as it’s high in protein from the meat and provides fiber from the corn and toppings. However, the sodium content from broth and seasoning can be significant, and the dish’s caloric value can increase depending on garnishes or portions. Opting for lean cuts of meat and lighter toppings can make it a more health-conscious choice while preserving its authentic flavors.
