Panocha


Panocha, in New Mexico and southern Colorado, is a pudding made from ground sprouted wheat and piloncillo. It is traditionally eaten during Lent. The sprouted-wheat flour is called "panocha flour" or simply "panocha", as well.
In southern Arizona, Sonora, and Sinaloa, is the word for piloncillo.
In other regions, "panocha" can mean penuche or panuche. In Spanish slang, it is a taboo word for the vulva, a fact that has led to many deliberate and accidental puns. It can also mean a coward.
In some regions of Spain, una panocha de maiz is an ear of corn.
