This hand-harvested salt from Jacobsen Salt Co. incorporates worms that graze on the wild plants of Oaxaca’s Central Valley. Highly concentrated in flavor and aroma, the worms are collected individually and toasted on the comal. For some mild heat, this salt also incorporates dried Pasilla Mixe chiles, a smoked Oaxacan delicacy.
