/Sounds like 'hoh-HOH-toh'/
An ear of corn — what Mexicans call elote, Venezuelans call jojoto. It's a staple of Venezuelan street food and home cooking: eaten boiled, roasted, or as the base for hallacas and arepas. The jojoto is humble, universal, and deeply embedded in Venezuelan food identity.
"Vamos a comer jojotos asados en la playa. → "Let's eat grilled corn on the cob at the beach."
"Mi abuela hace una sopa de jojoto increíble. → "My grandmother makes an incredible corn soup."
