Chilate receta (con ¿ceniza?)

Question

¡Hola todos! Encontré unas recetas de Chilate en español y no estoy segura si entiendo una correctamente. Las otras no incluyen este detalle. La receta dice: Desde un día antes deje el maíz en agua con ceniza. ¿Es de verdad que la ceniza en esta situación es la misma ceniza de por ejemplo una chimenea? ¡Gracias!

Es una pregunta muy interesnate...estare pendiente... - mountaingirl123, Nov 13, 2009

Answer 1

He oido ceniza de leña, pero no se el proceso cual será. Mejor averigue bien no se vaya a envenenar.

ja ja! - mountaingirl123, Nov 13, 2009

¡sí, usted tiene razón! Voy a omitir esa. Se que bicarbonate de sosa se ablanda cosas tambíen. - angela86, Nov 13, 2009

Answer 2

I was only able to get a superficial meaning of the Spanish question here.When I was on the Navajo reservation the grandmothers would put wood ash in their ground blue corn mush. They did it because it made their bones strong and there may be some truth to that.

hmm, interesante. ¡Gracias! - angela86, Nov 13, 2009

One of the articles said that the ashes may have contiained lime (calcium oxide) that has the same effect and we all know calcium builds strong bones. Grandma always knows best. - - 0074b507, Nov 14, 2009

Answer 4

This article mentions the purpose of boiling something in water containing ashes.

in Spanish

The ancient inhabitants of the territory they currently occupy in Mexico and Central America discovered at an early stage of history that the rind (pericarp) which covers the corn kernels are softened and could be easily removed if they were boiled in water with ashes.

Answer 6

I just did a google search on "el maiz en agua con ceniza" and came up with a couple of sites that discuss how to do this. I'm sorry I don't know how to transfer the sites onto my post (I am very tech-deficient), but the sites both came up right away. Hopefully that will help...
