This may be a good reason to explain our AZTECA CATERING concept.

Foods

Spirulina could be harvested off the surface of lakes with nets or shovels and was then dried as cakes which could be eaten with tortilla or as a condiment.
The Aztec staple foods included maiz, beans and squash to which were often added chilis and tomatoes, all prominent parts of the Mexican diet to this day. They harvested acocils, a small and abundant shrimp of Lake Texcoco, as well as Spirulina algae, which was made into a sort of cake rich in flavonoids. Although the Aztecs' diet was mostly vegetarian, the Aztecs consumed insects such as crickets (chapulines), maguey worm, ants, larvae, etc. Insects have a higher protein content than meat, and even now they are considered a delicacy in some parts of Mexico.
