Maize

Maize I and Maize II

Corn was a sacred food of the Inca empire and also was an important part of their mythology and beliefs. Growing up in my native land it is still used in Incan rituals and ceremonies. Corn can grow in a variety of colors and shapes. All the different kinds of corn are used in a multitude of recipes. “Chicha” is one of the corn based drinks created with white or purple fermented corn.
