Top Things to Buy at a Latin Grocery


Posted September 10, 2021 by donchendobc

Have you ever tried shopping at Latin grocery stores? If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the best time to consider shopping at one. Latin grocery stores have plenty of new things to offer.

 
Stock up on Mexican food and ingredients such as the following:

1. Tortilla/Tortilla Masa

The Tortilla Masa is different from Masa Preparada. The latter is typically used for making tamales. Tortilla Masa is made from ground corn and mixed with some water. You can get the dough and then cook it at home. Get yourself a tortilla press and you are great to go.

You can, however, buy prepared tortilla. Packaged tortillas are also available at Latin grocery stores and they can even come in different sizes, flavors, and quantities.

2. Hot sauce

Mexican people are serious about their hot sauces. They have an array of choices when it comes to hot sauces. Valentina, Tapatio, and Cholula are just three of the popular hot sauce options out there. But did you know that there are also others that are worth adding to your hot sauce collection as well?

3. Buy their fresh and dried chiles.

Most Mexican dishes require the use of chiles. They add not just a kick to the dishes but a unique aroma and flavor that you just can’t achieve without it. Serrano, jalapeno, and poblano chiles are some popular options but there are also many others such as the chile habanero and chile manzano that you would want to check out.

4. Mexican candies

Don’t miss out on the delicious Mexican candies out there. From sweet, spicy to sour, there are so many candies to try that aren’t your usual candy. It’s a treat not just for kids but also for grown-ups who want to try something new.

5. Baked goods

You might also want to try some of their baked goods and snacks. You can try Pan Dulce and conchas. These are very popular bread and will make a great addition to your morning fares.

In addition to these, get the usual Mexican goods like Tortilla chips and Mexican beer. Buy canned beans and ready-to-eat salsas and guacamoles for easy Mexican dinners. Your Mexican dinners will also be less stress-free if you make your seasonings and spices in advance. Combine spices you can get from Latin grocery stores such as Donchendo and store them in airtight containers. Use these spices as a seasoning for soups and stews or dry rubs for meats.
