Colada Morada is a traditional Ecuadorian beverage made with black corn flour and fruits that is consumed on November 2nd, Día de Difuntos, or Day of the Dead, along with bread. In indigenous Andean communities, especially in rural areas, it is consumed and offered in cemeteries next to the tombs of deceased relatives as part of the ritual to reunite with ancestors. During the Day of the Dead, Colada Morada is immensely popular throughout Ecuador as families decorate tombs and reconnect with their ancestors at the cemeteries.
