Cannabaceae

Chepos also regionally known as Uchepos is a dish in Mexican cuisine, a tamal made with tender maize (corn), which sometimes is added to milk.[1] It has a sweet taste and its consistency is soft. The chepo can be served on its own, or with green tomatillo salsa or tomato cooked and accompanied by fresh cheese or sour cream.

As a dessert, it is usually served and bathed in sweetened condensed milk.[2]

Although it is considered to have originated in the Mexican state of Michoacan, chepo can be found in other states of the republic where it is called corn tamal. In other regions of Central America it is also called corn tamal. In some regions in South America these tamales are called humitas where the recipes may call for some spices, raisins, other sweet ingredients such as cajeta blanca/arequipe/dulce de leche/manjar, etc.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
