Many types of corn are grown commercially, including familiar styles like sweet corn and popcorn. This pinole recipe from Chef Selena Cadenas calls for field corn or dent corn (a variety of field corn), which has a high starch content and a low sugar content and is typically used to make products like grits, masa flour, and bourbon. Dried, ground, and combined with cocoa nibs, cinnamon, sugar, and water or milk, it makes a delicious drink.
“Pinole is a tradition coming from my home, passed through the hands of my great-grandmother, to my grand-auntie, and on to me. It is part of who I am,” Cadenas says.
