Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pulque?
Pulque is a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave plant. It has a slightly viscous texture and a milky appearance, with a flavor that can be tangy or slightly sour. Pulque has been consumed for centuries and holds cultural and historical significance in Mexico. It is often flavored with fruits or other ingredients to create “curados.”
What is Huitlacoche?
Huitlacoche, often referred to as “corn smut,” is a fungus that grows on ears of corn, transforming the kernels into spongy, grayish-black growths. Considered a delicacy in Mexican cuisine, it has a rich, earthy flavor, often compared to mushrooms or truffles. It is commonly used in quesadillas, soups, and tamales. This ingredient is celebrated as a gourmet specialty in many regions.
What is Gremolata?
Gremolata is a classic Italian condiment made from finely chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. It is traditionally used as a garnish for dishes like osso buco alla Milanese to add freshness and brightness. Gremolata enhances the flavor profile of rich dishes with its zesty, herbaceous character. Variations may include ingredients like orange zest or anchovies.

Huauzontle is a traditional Mexican vegetable related to quinoa, with clusters of tiny green buds resembling broccoli or amaranth. It is often used in recipes where the buds are steamed or boiled, then coated in batter and fried, frequently stuffed with cheese. Huauzontle has a slightly bitter, earthy flavor and is commonly enjoyed in dishes like tortas and soups.
