概要

Clare Delish uncovers the extraordinary 3,000-year-old Mesoamerican discovery that transformed corn from a nutritionally limited grain into the foundation of entire civilizations—nixtamalization, the alkaline cooking process born from wood ash accidentally falling into a pot of boiling maize. This episode explores how this ancient technique unlocked hidden nutrients, prevented disease, increased calcium content by up to 750%, and created over 300 traditional foods from tortillas to tamales, while revealing the devastating consequences when European colonizers spread corn worldwide without the Indigenous knowledge that made it safe to eat.
