I don't usually write reviews but I feel compelled to do so based on a misconception going around about this product. This is not another snake oil fix-it-all.
It contains grounded corn with herbs, not processed sugar. Yes it is full of carbohydrates and natural sugars, but it is not candy or a magical elixir. The Tarahumara Indians use it to fuel their ultra-runs, but that does not mean that you should gobble it up for a quick pick-me-up in the morning. You wouldn't eat running gels, protein shakes or Michael Phelps's lunch and then not do the work. If you want an alternative to GU or energy bars try this, if you are trying to get healthy by simply ingesting something; don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great product!, January 19, 2010

This pinole is a great product! It tastes great and is properly advertised. My husband and I use the pinole with water, almond milk or soymilk before and/or during our long runs which helps provide a lot of much-needed energy. We've even tried it warm (drank it like tea) and my husband has added it to his morning, pre-run coffee with excellent results. This pinole really is a versatile product that I highly recommend. The shipping was a little pricey considering the cost of the product, but it is coming all the way from California so I guess that's about right. We had no problems at all with the Seller.

If you want to get right to the recipe then buy this product. Not having to toast the masa removes a huge time saver while using a high quality, ready to use product.
