- Pinole: The Original Superfood -
Don Claudio's Pinole is the only authentic, traditional Pinole available commercially. Our Pinole is made by hand by local artisans using a mortar and pestle, which results in a coarser, more nutrient-packed powder. This process maintains the nutrients and health benefits the Aztec and Tarahumara people have relied on for centuries to secure essential nutrients, run hundreds of miles continuously (as popularized in the book "Born to Run"), and avoid sickness and disease. It is the most ideal formulation to use as an energy supplement or cereal, the consistency of which matches that of Cream of Wheat.
Don Claudio's adds only 100% pure cocoa, which keeps the Pinole from being too sweet or bitter.
Health Benefits:
- Increased Energy
- Fills and Satisfies Hunger
- Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
- Gluten Free
- No sugar or artificial sweeteners, flavoring, or other ingredients
Social Impact:
Don Claudio's is committed to sourcing the best ingredients directly from local artisans - primarily, Central American women who live in poverty and rely on selling Pinole to support their families. Don Claudio's provides each a guaranteed fair wage and income security. Additionally, a portion of the profits from each bag of Don Claudio's Pinole goes to The Ochoa Family Foundation, which supports children living in poverty in Latin America and indigenous cultures.
