Goya 7 oz. Cuitlacoche Corn Mushroom - 12/Case

Details

Impress your customers with a rare and prized ingredient when you serve this Goya corn mushroom! Often referred to by its Aztec name, "cuitlacoche," throughout Latin America and sometimes called corn smut or corn truffle in English, this product consists of a mushroom-like fungus that grows inside the husks of corn ears. Though eating a fungus may sound strange to the uninitiated, corn mushroom is in fact a prized ingredient in Latin cuisine, and is especially popular in Mexico. It has a complex, tangy, mushroom-like flavor with notable earthy and woody undertones - somewhat similar in taste and texture to truffles.

Corn mushrooms have a wide variety of uses in Latin and Mexican cuisine! Use this product to prepare Aztec-inspired cuitlacoche tacos and quesadillas, or creamy and savory soups. You can even use it to diversify your breakfast menu by offering cuitlacoche omelettes! Packaged in a convenient 7 oz. can, this corn mushroom tastes as fresh as it did on the day it was harvested for great flavor you can count on. This specialty ingredient is sure to stand out on your menu and set your establishment apart from the competition!
