 A great product! Jan 19, 2010
This pinole is a great product! It tastes great and is properly advertised. My husband and I use the pinole with water, almond milk or soymilk before and/or during our long runs which helps provide a lot of much-needed energy. We've even tried it warm (drank it like tea) and my husband has added it to his morning, pre-run coffee with excellent results. This pinole really is a versatile product that I highly recommend. The shipping was a little pricey considering the cost of the product, but it is coming all the way from California so I guess that's about right. We had no problems at all with the Seller.

A pleasant, hot, nourishing substitute for coffee Dec 02, 2009
Pinole is a powdery blend of toasted ground corn, sugar and cinnamon. There is not too much sugar in the El Guapo mix as one reviewer claimed. The balance is just right, not too sweet. Pinole makes a pleasant, hot, nourishing substitute for coffee which often puts me on edge and stimulates an irresistible craving to snack on something. My packets arrived labeled as 5 oz instead of 6 oz as advertised but they are still worth the low cost and a little goes a long way.

Hardcore stuff Sep 16, 2009
I don't usually write reviews but I feel compelled to do so based on a misconception going around about this product. This is not another snake oil fix-it-all.
It contains grounded corn with herbs, not processed sugar. Yes it is full of carbohydrates and natural sugars, but it is not candy or a magical elixir. The Tarahumara Indians use it to fuel their ultra-runs, but that does not mean that you should gobble it up for a quick pick-me-up in the morning. You wouldn't eat running gels, protein shakes or Michael Phelps's lunch and then not do the work. If you want an alternative to GU or energy bars try this, if you are trying to get healthy by simply ingesting something; don't.

 It's full of sugar Aug 26, 2009
The product description in Amazon is misleading. The description says "Pinole Ground Corn" and it even suggests adding brown or white sugar to it. But it is already full of sugar, which is exactly what I didn't want.
