Chicos

Chico sweet corn is a traditional New Mexican delicacy, harvested at its peak when the kernels are plump and tender. The corn is slow-cooked to enhance its natural sweetness, then carefully husked and air- or sun-dried to preserve its rich flavor. Once dried, the kernels are cleaned and packaged, ready to bring a taste of tradition to your kitchen.

Chicos offer an amazingly rich, nutty flavor and are a true gourmet ingredient. They are often simmered with pinto beans to create a hearty, flavorful dish that embodies the essence of New Mexico’s culinary heritage. Perfect for adding depth and authenticity to your meals!
