AUTHENTIC PRODUCT - 100% authentic Oaxacan maguey worm salt with a characteristic smell and taste predominant of maguey worm, with a slight perception of the mixture of dried chilies.
PREHISPANIC RECIPE - It all begins with the collection of adult worms, then they are left to dry in the sun for a long period and are ground with a mixture of chili peppers and grain salt until everything is well pulverized, the result is a yellow powder with a spicy aroma. then the chilies are put to 'tatemar' (roast) and are also ground with grain salt.
TEST IT WITH - It is used to accompany mezcal or tequila, serving orange or lemon wedges and sprinkling them with worm salt. It is a very special salt, with a more concentrated flavor and is also used to prepare sophisticated dishes of author and Mexican cuisine.
SOURCE OF PROTEIN - Prized as a source of protein since pre-Hispanic times, the larvae live in the agave plants used to make tequila and mezcal. Pre-Hispanic cultures found these potential pests to be delicious; they were said to have healing properties, promoting strength and virility.
