Guava Cubes

Visiting our favourite Latin American shop we found these delicious guava cubes. Solid pureed fruit cubes, reminiscent of jelly, rolled in sugar. These make for a lovely after dinner treat.   

Before I could take a photo, idle hands had already dived in and were enjoying the naturally sweet taste.


Hope everyone is having a good week. - JD

Tajin Classico Seasoning

There is a Latin Food Market here in E-town called Paraiso Tropical. It offers a nice modest selection of groceries, candies, drinks, snacks, hot food, and cookware of Latin America. I bought this Tajin seasoning. It is a blend of chili peppers, sea salt and dehydrated lime juice. Very mild however great for seasoning just about anything. Veggies... possibly fruit, meat, tofu, dips, and popcorn. They do offer a low sodium version however I didn't see any on the shelf. Regardless, I am sure a light hand for those that are watching their sodium intake will do. To me it didn't taste outrageously salty. Just spicy, sweet with a hint of zesty tang.    

Tajin does have a website, click *here* and so does Paraiso Tropical, click *here*. Both websites have loads of information for you to check out. 

A few days of warm sunshine only to have a snowy wet and very windy Wednesday. - JD
