Nopales are huge in Mexico, they're everywhere, from street markets to family kitchens. With them you can make guisos, toss them into salads, scramble them with eggs, or simply grill them 🌵

They've got a slightly tangy, green bean-like flavour with a texture that's somewhere between a pepper and okra. They're versatile, nutritious, and so Mexican, you can even find them on the flag 🇲🇽

We stock them as whole cactus leaves or pre-sliced if you want to skip the prep. Tap the link in bio to shop now!

If you thought the flavour combinations were endless after last week's post about fresh Mexican chillies, just wait until you see them dried. In Mexico, when fresh chillies get dried they become their own thing entirely, the same way a grape becomes a raisin 🌶

Dried, they get smokier, the heat changes, and some of these are actually the base of the most traditional and iconic flavours in Mexican cuisine.

We have some of them in stock on our website in case you want to level up your Mexican cooking game. And if you want to know more about Mexican food, ingredients, and how to use these flavours while living in the UK, give us a follow and stay tuned.

Fresh Mexican chillies don't get enough credit here in the UK. Most people can only name jalapeño and habanero, but Mexico actually has 64 varieties of chillies, each with its own unique flavour and spice level. We're only including 6 on this list to keep it short 🌶

Chillies add more than just spice to Mexican food, without them there would be no sazón. You can find some of them on our website, because we know cooking Mexican food is never the same without them. Check them out via the link in our bio 🔗

And keep an eye out for our next post about dried chillies.

We had to say it 🇲🇽

5 de mayo marks the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when the Mexican army defeated the French. It's part of our history, but it's not a big national holiday. Mostly celebrated in the USA, but it's a normal day for most of us.

When was the last time you cooked with chile de árbol? 🌶

Can you think of the smell of them toasting on the comal until they’re dark? Or the street vendors grinding them into salsas that make you sweat? Or maybe the taco stand around the corner in Mexico dusting them over the guiso just before you dig in?

Chile de arbol is small but mighty. And if you've had them before, you know exactly what we're talking about. Whether you're sprinkling flakes over tacos, infusing oil until it turns crimson, or blending a salsa that'll clear the room, de árbol is your reminder that Mexican food isn't timid.

We bring it to the UK so there's no need to wait for the next flight or ask a friend to pack them in their suitcase. Order them now via the link in our bio 🌶

Tomatoes aren’t Italian, they’re Mexican. Before they travelled the world, they grew exclusively in America. Swipe to read all about the different tomatoes native to Mexico, from bola to the green tomatillo.

And anyone who’s visited Mexico knows there’s no flavour more authentic than the green tomatillo. It’s the base of every proper salsa verde and chilaquiles. If you’re cooking Mexican without them, you’re missing out.

We bring them fresh to the UK, ready to turn into salsa or add to your guisos. Find them in our website now.

We just dropped a documentary that takes you straight to the fields where our corn comes from. But this isn’t about us, it is about the farmers who wake up before the sun is out every day to protect the heirloom corn that have survived centuries.

They talk about why nixtamalisation is such an important process, why shortcuts don’t work and why a proper tortilla is the heart of every meal in Mexico.

If you care about where your ingredients come from (and why they taste the way they do), we think you’ll love this.
