Benefits of drinking pulque
Just read an article on the benefits of drinking pulque done at the Universidad Mixteca in Oaxaca under laboratory conditions.
They found that the pulque helps in digesting food and has antibacterial properties and helps with the stomac and intestine ensimes and good bacterias, it also helps when eating food that is in the begining stages of decomp by neutralizing the the bacteria that cause illness "Moctezumas revenge", so drink your pulque.
If you visit the town of Cholula in the State of Puebla on the South side of the biggest piramid in the world there is a mural dedicated to the drinking of pulque "los bebedores de pulque", the mural is not open to the public in order to preserve it, when we breath out we also exhale a lot of humidity, ergo mold and dampness on the mural, they were covered by a later structure, you can see what the mural looks like in the museum across the street.
The pulque study found that there are variations in the diferent regions where pulque is produced, but all have the capacity to benefit the drinker.
Pulque is obtained from the maguey plant, there is unfermented pulque, fermented pulque and pulque curado, the last one has fruits in it, Mezcal and Tequila are considered high end pulques, not all magueyes are used in producing pulque every one is a little diferent in the production of "agua de los dioses" (water from the gods).
So a glass of pulque a day keeps Moctezuma away!
I try to give you guys visiting Mexico a few tidibits of what the country has to offer that are not generally known by the visiting folks.
