5 Healthy Habits from Latin America

Whether you are living in Latin America, of Latin American descent and living elsewhere, or you simply enjoy vibrant Latin American heritage cuisine, there is so much to learn from the region’s culinary traditions and so many ways to start implementing small habits into your day-to-day.

Salsa Macha Shrimp Tacos

Salsa Macha is a traditional Veracruz condiment made with peanuts and chili peppers. While it is fantastic on Veracruz-inspired shrimp tacos, there is hardly a dish that cannot be improved with a sprinkle of salsa macha. Try it on everything from breakfast tacos or kale salads, to baked sweet potatoes or roasted vegetables. The savory, spicy, peanutty ﬂavor can make any dish sing.

Mosh (Guatemalan Oatmeal)

Mosh is a milky oatmeal beverage served for breakfast in Guatemala and some other Central American countries. Unlike in the US, it is simmered for a long time with lots of liquid, making it drinkable. In this version, we soak the oats overnight, so that they cook more quickly in the morning.
