A genus of grasses or a food product made from ground cereal grains, particularly used in South America.
From Spanish 'broma,' which may derive from Greek 'brōma' meaning 'food.' The term entered English through trade and botanical classification of New World plants.
Broma as a cereal food represents the intersection of indigenous Andean food culture and Spanish colonial influence—it's still consumed in Peru and Ecuador as a nutritious breakfast drink mixed with milk or water.
