Flor and More!

Flor de Calabacitas bring fragrance and flavor to Chihuahua homes this time of year.
The unique foods of the Norteño area and Copper Canyon include the lovely and fragrant squash blossoms….flor de calabacitas. They are harvested in the late summer time when the rains push the brown/tan valleys and mountains into a verdant miracle.
The Fall is a great time for The Blue Corn Express culinary trip for many reasons…one of which is that we can enjoy this culinary delight.
The aroma is light as these yellow flowers are gathered in baskets early in the day. Their use is in canned vegetables, with eggs, in soups …anywhere you want a light addition to a flavorful dish.
Flor de Calabacitas are readily available in the markets early in the day - especially in the rainy season.
