Everyone knows that Mexico\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s food is excellent.\u00c2\u00a0 What most people are less familiar with is the broad variety of food traditions that differ between the regions of the country, and the other benefits that those living in Mexico gain from the food here; food is certainly one of the many great reasons to choose to buy Mexico real estate<\/a> and live in this beautiful country.\u00c2\u00a0 The following are the factors that make food in Mexico such an important factor.<\/p>\n

The Flavor<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Everyone knows the Mexican flavor to some extent; some even know the full enjoyment of authentic Mexican food in its best form.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tasty tamales or the rich, spicy sauce known as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mole,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (pronounced moe\u00e2\u20ac\u201clay) Mexican food is something very unique, offering a perfect combination of flavors like cumin, cilantro, oregano and tomatoes.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Believe me, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had great Mexican food in the U.S. or Canada, it only gets better in Mexico.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Variety<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c One of the reasons why Mexican food is better in Mexico is because of the<\/p>\n

variety of styles that exist throughout the country.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, those who choose a market like Morelia real estate<\/a>, and live in the central area of the country will enjoy the traditional triple-t\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u201c tacos, tamales and tortas (a type of sandwich full of meat, cheese, avocado and various vegies) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as well as other regional traditions like a delicious corn soup called pozole.<\/p>\n

Those who buy Yucatan real estate<\/a> will enjoy quite a different food tradition which has been shaped by the area\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mayan heritage, such as papadzules, similar to enchiladas, but filled with boiled eggs and covered with a pumpkin seed sauce.<\/p>\n

Those who prefer beachfront locations like Playa del Carmen real estate<\/a> will enjoy a combination of foods from around the country, but with seafood specialties like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ceviche\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which is like a seafood salad, not to mention to very well-priced freshly caught local fish.<\/p>\n

Health<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c While tamales and tacos may be the last kind of food you associate with healthy eating, in one important sense it actually turns out to be much easier to eat healthy in Mexico than in most parts of the U.S. or Canada.\u00c2\u00a0 One reason for this is the access to great seafood already mentioned.\u00c2\u00a0 The other reason is that locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables are available all year round at excellent prices.\u00c2\u00a0 Even cheap and easy \u00e2\u20ac\u0153street food\u00e2\u20ac\u009d includes large cups full of cut fruit, smoothies and 100% natural, freshly prepared fruit juices.<\/p>\n

While I do have to warn you that Mexican \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fast food\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (tacos, etc.) and baked goods are so tasty, so omnipresent and so cheap that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to resist, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nevertheless much easier to live healthy with less self-discipline since there are so many good, healthy and tasty options so easily available everywhere that are also cheap.\u00c2\u00a0 This leads to the last point \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Savings <\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c As mentioned already, food in Mexico is very well priced. \u00c2\u00a0Whether you are the kind of expat that would shop at Walmart or go to the local market and small shops, you will find that your weekly grocery bill is much smaller than it would be in the U.S. or Canada, even when you treat yourself to something special.<\/p>\n

So, if you like the great flavor of Mexican food, variety of styles and new things to try, healthy living and eating well on a low budget, those at least 4 excellent reasons to consider moving down here (if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t already live here.)<\/p>\n
