Today we say thanks to the ancient designers of the metate. This incredibly heavy kitchen tool is an indispensable household utensil in every Mexican home. Made of volcanic stone, the earliest records show the metate at around 7,000 BCE. It is used as a grinding tool and although today we have electric blenders to do the work, traditional chefs still use the metate. We have seen it used to create dye colors grinding cochineal for a red color and indigo leaves to create blue. At Dia del Niño, children crush cacao beans and are amazed at the chocolate that emerges. At Maíz es Vida you too, can practice grinding the corn> Everyone needs to do it one so that you can connect to the past cooks of our culture that have evolved the flavors we love so much.
