Chapulines (Grasshoppers) Chipotle Recipe

$10.99

Grasshoppers – Chapulines are one of Mexico’s most emblematic edible insects and have been part of the local Southern Mexican diet for centuries. Today they play an important role in the local gastronomy, society and economy of Oaxaca as well as other Southern states in Mexico.

The Chipotle flavor is the right choice if you want to add an extra kick to an already well-balanced recipe. Our Chipotle recipe reflects a beloved and traditional flavor of the Mexican cuisine. You’ll love the extra spiciness! 

The Merci Mercado grasshoppers / chapulines are completely dehydrated (not fried), giving them a delicious "crunchy taste" that makes them irresistible.

Aside from being delicious, our grasshoppers / chapulines are an excellent source of protein with a light “carbon footprint.” We take pride in knowing that our grasshoppers / chapulines bring a health benefit for you and our planet.

Try them as a stand-alone snack, with your favorite Mexican dishes (such as guacamole, tacos, salsas, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc.), or add a Mexican touch to any dish (pizza, salads, etc.). Why not trying them on your favorite desserts (chocolate, ice cream)? That hint of lime juice is irresistible!
