We are proud to bring you a product made with blue corn and some of the finest non-hydrogenated oils in the market. These chips are very thin and crispy with the delicious flavor that blue corn brings to your plate. That is the reason the Aztec Indians prayed and glorified the goddess of the corn chicomecoatl to thank her for providing such a delectable crop. Corn was so important to the Aztecs that she was also known as the goddess of nourishment and they depicted her carrying the sun as a shield. Blue corn has a coarser, sweeter and nuttier taste than other types of corns - Delicious! - The preparation of nixtamal was a daily task for the housewife, and even now in old Mexico is still occupies up to six hours of a woman's day. The kernels were steeped in lime overnight to loosen the hull, then boiled and skinned, and finally ground to dough by crushing the kernels between a grooved stone roller and a metate (a lava rock stone slab). The nixtamas was usually made into tortillas. Taste these blue corn chips and you will be transported to the Aztecs world, and you too will pray chicomecoatl for more. At Xochitl, our mission has always been to provide the best and unique products made with authentic ancient recipes. We invite you to try our totopos with any of our salsas. All have been carefully recreated from Aztec and Mayan recipes. You will be transported by the old world of flavors. Xochitl, means flower in nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. Taste and enjoy the tradition of the Aztecs. We only use the best corn and non-hydrogenated oils for its flavor and characteristics. Please see ingredients.Other Description
