MEXICAN CUISINE

Why Traditional Mexican Food Is Misjudged

Authentic Mexican cuisine is deeply rooted in whole foods: corn, beans, squash, chilies, herbs, and slow-cooked proteins. Problems arise not from tradition, but from industrial shortcuts.

When prepared traditionally, Mexican food is balanced, grounding, and metabolically supportive.

What defines traditional Mexican cooking:

• Nixtamalized corn for mineral absorption

• Beans as a daily protein-fiber base

• Chili used for flavor and digestion, not heat alone

• Slow simmering and dry cooking methods

Starter recipes (3 only — coming soon):

• Caldo de Pollo (Chicken & Vegetable Soup)

• Frijoles de Olla (Slow-Cooked Beans)

• Salsa Verde (traditional) — acid and enzyme balance
