What is Pinole?
For centuries, our ancestors have been eating Pinole, an Aztec Superfood enjoyed all across Latin America.
Pinole is still eaten today by the Tarahumara, an indigenous community living in Northern Mexico. Tarahumara runners are known for their long-distance running abilities, they call themselves the Rarámuri, which, in their native language, means “light feet” or “runners on foot."
To fuel their long runs, the Rarámuri consume Pinole.
