Episode 56

Corn has historically been at the heart of Mexico’s food system but it is going through a severe crisis as many of the native 59 varieties of corn are at risk of being lost forever, added to this, traditional corn tortillas have been heavily displaced by mass-produced “fake” or “junk” tortillas which contain additives, colourants and additives that are harmful and often not listed on packaging labels.

My guest Rafael Mier is the founder and director of Fundacion Tortilla de Maiz Mexicana, an independent Mexican charity that promotes the cultural, economic and gastronomic significance of Mexican corn through education and advocacy to build legal frameworks to protect native varieties of corn, regulate the production of corn tortillas and save popcorn corn from extinction.
