Sal de Chapulín (Grasshopper Salt) 1 Kilo Bag

Ancient protein. Bold flavor. Pure Oaxaca.

Chapulines — wild red grasshoppers — have been a cornerstone of Oaxacan cuisine since pre-Hispanic times, prized for their protein, crunch, and earthy depth. Long before they became a culinary curiosity, they were a staple of indigenous Oaxacan life, harvested seasonally from the fields and celebrated at every table.

Gran Mitla's Sal de Chapulín honors that tradition: wild adult red grasshoppers are hand-harvested, sun-dried, then slowly toasted and tenderly ground with Oaxacan chile and legendary Cuytlán Sea Salt, with a bright finish of lemon. The result is savory, earthy, spicy, and deeply satisfying — a rough-textured salt that crunches in your mouth.

How to use:

• Rim your mezcal or tequila glass for an authentic Oaxacan experience
• Makes an unbeatable Paloma or Michelada
• Exquisite finish for shrimp, salads, and guacamole
• Sprinkle over tacos, ceviche, or roasted corn
