Maíz Mote

Maíz mote is a traditional Peruvian corn that has been soaked and cooked to remove the hull, resulting in large, soft, and chewy kernels. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor and is commonly used in soups, stews, and side dishes. Mote is a staple in Andean cuisine and valued for its hearty texture and versatility in both savory and festive dishes.
