Agave Worm Salt – Sal de Gusano Marron

Gourmet Brown Agave Worm Salt

A traditional Mexican condiment used with tacos, enchiladas, mezcal, tequila, cocktails, salads and other places a tasty salt is required.

This salt will not only lend an exotic flavor it will also initiate discussions on what it is made from… worms. Specifically maguey, or agave, worms. Try filling salt shakers with this famous salt and offer an option to white iodized salt for your dinner guests.

Brings out the best sprinkled on steaks, burgers, ribs and anything that calls for traditional white salt.

Rick Bayless, celebrity chef, says only a well-stocked bar will have sal de gusano. He should know. Rick is a Michelin star American chef, author and restaurant owner (Chicago’s Frontera, for one) who specializes in traditional Mexican cuisine with modern interpretations. He is widely known for his PBS series Mexico: One Plate at a Time. 

In this video he demonstrates how to sip mescal with fresh oranges and, that’s right – sal de gusano— or chile-spiked salt. At home, Rick guides us through a mescal tasting and a host of snacks for a do-it-yourself mescal cocktail party.
