Huitlacoche

$3.95

 

 

Huitlacoche has been a delicacy in Mexico since pre-Hispanic times, and is just beginning to become popular in the United States. Huitlacoche or cuitlacoche, as it is sometimes spelled, is a black, mushroom-like fungus that commonly grows on corn. It is used in Mexico as a filling for gorditas, tacos and the like, and more recently as an ingredient in entree sauces. Despite its unappealing description, huitlacoche has a delicious, subtle flavor and a dramatically inky-black color. Like most foods, huitlacoche is best when fresh, however the brand we offer is a great alternative. It has not been over processed, and is often still attached to a grain of corn, which adds interesting texture and flavor. Included are several recipes that will delight your friends and family!
