Worm salt, also known as sal de gusano in Spanish, is a traditional Mexican condiment made from ground-up dried worms, chili peppers, and salt. It is commonly used to enhance the flavor of various dishes, particularly in the regions of Oaxaca and Puebla in Mexico. The worms used in worm salt are typically the larvae of a type of moth called Hypopta agavis, which infests the agave plant. The worms are harvested, sun-dried, and then ground into a fine powder along with chili peppers and salt. Worm salt has a unique umami flavor with a hint of smokiness and is often sprinkled on fruits, vegetables, snacks, and even cocktails. It is believed to have originated from pre-Hispanic times when insects were a common food source in Mesoamerican cultures.

Pinole is a traditional Mexican semi-finished product. It is roasted or unroasted ground corn mixed with roasted cocoa, sugar and cinnamon. Western audiences were introduced to McDouglas' bestseller Born To Run. Although this is not a particularly tasty mixture, there must be a reason why the Rarámuri runners, considered to be the best long-distance runners in the world, have used it for centuries. Probably the balance between nutrients and its digestion gives good results.
