Humita (from quechua humint'a) is a native south american dish from pre-hispanic times, a traditional food from the andes and it can be found in bolivia, chile, ecuador, peru, and northwest argentina. it consists of fresh choclo (peruvian maize) pounded to a paste, wrapped in a fresh corn husk, and slowly steamed or boiled in a pot of water. in bolivia it is known as huminta and in brazil as pamonha. humitas are similar to mexican uchepos, which are also made with fresh corn; but they are only superficially similar to tamales, which are made with nixtamalized corn (masa).
