    Horchata De Almendra (Almond Horchata) #230449

    by Alskann

    posted on May 27, 2007

    The Horchata has its origin in ancient Egypt. Chufa is one of the earliest domesticated crops and was used in the embalming methods in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. The Chufa nut was widely used in Egypt and Sudan. The Arabs dragged the plant by excessive force to Spain during the time of the Moorish kings (700 B.C. a 1200 A.D.). The eastern Spanish province of Valencia was the best environment for growing Chufa. Chufa is not commonly available in the United States and so a suitable substitute for the Chufas are Almonds, which give the Horchata the same texture and similiar taste. Horchata is not a dairy product and contains little fat, so it is often refered to as "the drink of the gods" for it's rich but lowfat flavor.
