About Beverage, Horchata, dry mix, unprepared, variety of brands, all with morro seeds

This is a dry horchata mix — the powdered base for the sweet, creamy, cinnamon-scented drink popular across Mexico and Central America. The Central American style in this entry is built on ground rice and morro (jícaro) seeds, often with cocoa, spices and ground seeds or nuts, all blended into a powder you stir into water or milk.

Because these are the figures for the unprepared powder, they are concentrated: per 100 grams the dry mix carries about 413 calories, 79 grams of carbohydrate (roughly 39 of them sugar), 7 grams of protein, some fat from the seeds, a good amount of fiber, and a notable amount of iron (about 5.8 milligrams). You do not consume the powder by the cupful, though — a glass of horchata uses only a few tablespoons, so the actual drink is far lighter.

Prepared and sweetened to taste, horchata is a refreshing, naturally dairy-free treat (when mixed with water), though it is a sweet drink rather than an everyday thirst-quencher. The morro seeds and ground rice give the authentic Central American version its distinctive nutty body, setting it apart from the plainer rice-and-cinnamon style.
