El huitlacoche o cuitlacoche (Ustilago maydis), es un hongo que crece entre los granos del maíz. Es originario y utilizado en la cocina de México y se le considera un manjar o comida de los dioses. El hongo crece en la temporada de lluvias, entre junio y noviembre.

The huitlacoche or cuitlacoche (Ustilago maydis), is a fungus that grows between the grains of corn. It is native and used in the cuisine of Mexico and is considered a delicacy or food of the gods. The fungus grows in the rainy season, between June and November.

Este es un alimento rico en aminoácidos como la lisina que ayuda al cuerpo a producir proteínas. Posee un bajo contenido en grasas saturadas y colesterol. Posee abundancia en fósforo y magnesio, y también contiene, en menor medida, calcio, hierro y zinc. Tiene poder antioxidante por el aporte de vitamina C y de aminoácidos.

This is a food rich in amino acids such as lysine that helps the body produce proteins. It has a low content of saturated fats and cholesterol. It is abundant in phosphorus and magnesium, and also contains, to a lesser extent, calcium, iron and zinc. It has antioxidant power due to the contribution of vitamin C and amino acids.

Hace un año tuve la oportunidad de ser vendedor de un puesto de productos del agro y este hongo afloró en uno de los maíces (son las fotos que les muestro). Espero algún día tener la oportunidad de probarlos.

A year ago I had the oportunity to be a salesman at an agricultural products stand and this fungus emerged in one of the corn (these are the photos I show you). I hope one day I will have the opportunity to try them.

    It looks pretty nasty on the corn! I would never have guessed it is actually edible.
