Pinol, elote, atol blanco and atol quebrantado all come from corn in one way or another. Remember that corn is sacred, so it is used in every form. Manzana (apples) and plátano (plantains) come from fruits easily grown or bought. Haba is a bean commonly grown with corn. Although rice and plaintains don't grow here in the mountains, they're easily and cheaply imported to the nearby city, Xela.
