Pura Macha Salsa
Pura Macha is our riff on salsa macha — the deliciously addictive mix of chiles, crunch (typically nuts and seeds), and oil — that can be found on tabletops all across Mexico. With unique flavor combinations that render even the most ho-hum dishes irresistible, you’ll always want to keep a jar of Pura Macha within arm’s reach. Heat, crunch, pow....¡Guau!
Classic Crunch: Call this a cousin to your favorite chili crisp. It’s savory and satisfying, thanks to garlic and onion, a blend of not-too-hot chiles, and crunchy pumpkin and sesame seeds.
Sweet Heat: The brightness of dried Montmorency cherries and real cacao nibs (a non-allergenic alternative to classic peanuts) balance out the medium heat of chipotle and guajillo chiles.
Red Eye: A fiery, fan-favorite blend of chipotle chiles, peanuts, and (decaf) coffee with multiple dimensions of flavor — smokiness, a hint of bitterness, nuttiness — and very satisfying heat.

The History of Salsa Macha
Salsa macha's origins are in the state of Veracruz, whose long coastline hugs the Gulf of Mexico, but as is the case with many popular foods, the story of how it came to be is not entirely clear. What is worth noting, however, is that Veracruz is home to the oldest and largest port in the country and was a nexus for trade between the East and West. Was salsa macha the result of cross-continental trade? We don't know — but we do know that the free movement of people is essential in maintaining vibrant foodways.
