Pozole Dog Treats

The Dish

Pozole, a traditional Mexican stew, has ancient origins in Aztec and Mayan civilizations, used in ceremonial feasts. The word “pozole” comes from the Nahuatl language, meaning “hominy.” Originally made with corn, water, and meats like turkey or fish, it evolved after the Spanish conquest, incorporating pork and chicken. Today, it’s a staple in Mexican cuisine, enjoyed during holidays and celebrations, with regional variations showcasing diverse flavors and ingredients. Pozole symbolizes Mexico’s rich cultural heritage, blending indigenous traditions with European influences to create a beloved and iconic dish.
