The Maya creation myth recounts that civilization was born from masa, a corn flour that still forms the basis of the Yucatecan diet and is viewed as a sacred food that feeds both spirit and body and connects the Maya to their ancestors. Ek Chuah, the Maya god of merchants and trade, was the patron of cacao, a crop reserved to make ceremonial elixirs and reserved for sacred offerings to the gods. It's this rich history woven with centuries-old legend and lore that forms the basis of the Yucatan's living food pantheon, a cultural cuisine derived from Maya traditions that's marked by fragrant herbs and brilliant spices.
