24. Valentina Chili Powder

Made in Guadalajara, the Spanish label says “salsa en polvo”. Although Valentina is better known to gabachos for their excellent salsa picante, the chili powder is fantastic sprinkled on soups and stews such as cocido, menudo, pozole or consomme de chivo. The Japanese share this dried chili enthusiasm with their own mixtures shaken on udon soups. Carl Jung would be pleased.
