It is artisanal so it varies dramatically in style and quality. I’ve had both great and diarrhea-inducing chicha.

- subroutine 8y agoDid you have chicha prepared the 'artisanal' / traditional way described in the article... This part—the chewing—plays a key role in the fermentation process, since enzymes from saliva convert the starch to sugar, which, when combined with wild yeast or bacteria, eventually becomes alcohol. The preparers then spit the resulting juice into a clay pot, where it ferments for several hours. After that, voila: Chicha is born Chicha is spit?!?
