    Curiosities

    Legend has it that its origin is inspired by a pre-Hispanic ritual, in which the beating heart of a girl was
    placed in a pot with amaranth, as a sign of gratitude towards the gods. And that, inspired by this
    sacrifice, during the Conquest, the Spanish would then create its first version, using wheat flour to form
    the heart and sugar dyed red to make it look like blood.
