Incaparina is a uniquely Guatemalan invention – a fortified corn-and-soy drink powder developed by INCAP (Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama) in 1959 to combat malnutrition. It is an affordable source of protein and vitamins, widely consumed by lower-income families, especially for children. It is prepared as a hot drink similar to atol and is considered a nutritional staple.
