Known as “corn,” in the English language, maize is a wild grass that must be cultivated to survive. Now, grown throughout the world, it is one of the most culturally significant crops of México. It is a starchy vegetable, similar to potatoes, but its kernels are considered grains and can be milled into flour. Coming from the seed or flower of a plant (like tomatoes), maize is also considered a fruit. It comes in a broad range of varietals and multiple colors, varying from shades of red, blue, purple, black, brown, and pink, among others. — Please note: In order to maximize the number of attendees who can experience this amazing UNESCO Ancestral Maize Festival, there are two seating times for this unique and very special culinary event! 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Make sure to select preferred time at check-out!
