What is the spice that the street venders put on mangos and chips in Guatemala? |
Travel Info I ate these chips in Guatemala - the local kids called them "nachos" - they had lemon juice, salt, chili powder, and this other brownish/green colored spice that I haven't been able to identify. They put the same combination on mangos and in other random things as well. Travel Tips I am guatemalan, and that amazing secret ingredient is called "Pepitoria" and its squashed toasted pumpkin seeds. Mango, lemon, salt and pepitoria, isn't that the best taste in the world? In fact, I think I'll take a stroll down the street and get some! Source(s): I live in the best country, who else has this? Other Travel Tips Not sure, I've seen the chili powder, lemon juice and salt combo (and it's good) but don't know about the other. Maybe a tamarind powder? It's called "alguashte" and it's made from "pepitoria" (roasted pumpkin-squash seeds). If you are in the US, you may use ground sunflower seeds for a similar taste. Modified 1 year ago |
