Guaje: Earthy, Distinctive, Deeply Traditional
The bold-flavored pod behind authentic Oaxacan mole.
A OAXACAN KITCHEN STAPLE
Guaje, the Pod Behind Oaxacan Tradition
Guaje pods hold small, garlicky-tasting green seeds prized in Oaxacan cooking, most famously in guaxmole and salsas. Their bold, earthy flavor is unlike any common herb, adding a distinctive punch eaten fresh straight from the pod or ground into sauces. At Latin Specialties, we source guaje pods for consistent quality, bringing authentic regional flavor to your kitchen.
Earthy, bold, and deeply traditional—guaje is a taste of Oaxaca in every pod.
