Parotas, my aunt brought them from Mexico,
a side of beans and fresh homemade salsa.
Parotas are seeds of a beautiful tree.
Read the information on the tree.
Also the wood is used to make beautiful furniture.
Authentic Mexican food is not full of meat,
in the center and south of the country we eat a lot of plants
Eat a tree, eat plants, save animals & our planet!
Parotas, beans & salsa = heaven! |
