The Pinole Project About Us & Our Story: Meet Pinole Chia Oatmeal. Our recipe is inspired by my grandmother, Adela Jacquez. We loved sitting around the table in my grandparent’s home in Mexico eating Pinole Chia Oatmeal. Pinole is an Aztec Superfood made with High Protein/Fiber Ground Heirloom Corn. The Tarahumara Superathletes of Mexico eat Pinole to fuel their long distance runs.
