Colada morada

Colada Morada is a drink that is part of Ecuador's gastronomic culture along with t'anta wawa bread dolls.

[2] The origin of this drink dates back to pre-Columbian times, where the ancestral peoples related to harvest and planting as synonyms of life and death.

Indigenous people from the Ecuadorian mountain range celebrated the rainy season and in turn worshipped their relatives who had died.

Colada Morada is mainly prepared with purple corn flour, which gives it its thick consistency and accentuates the color of the name to that drink.

It also carries a number of aromatic herbs and barks, such as cinnamon, cloves, ishpingo, sweet pepper, orange leaf, lemongrass, lemon verbena, etc.
