About
Alguashte is a seasoning typical of Honduran and Salvadoran cuisine made from ground pepitas, and is used on both sweet or savoury meals. Simple to make, it is often prepared at home; however, it can also be purchased pre-packaged as well as from street vendors, often as an addition to a meal or snack. It is added to fruits such as unripe mango, as well as dishes such as shuco and chicken.
