Why wait to get to the bottom of the tequila bottle to enjoy some worm? With Worm Salt, you can have that wormy goodness whenever you’d like.
Inspired by a Mexican condiment known as Sal de Gusano – worms are dried and ground with rock salt and chilies. Besides being a great accompaniment for cheap tequila, it will help add a smoky flavor to your sauces and salsas. And, the salt should be a great conversation starter at your next fiesta.
