The system in operation
From powder to molcajete salsa in four steps.
No roasting, peeling or grinding during service. The roasted profile is already in the powder; the kitchen only measures, hydrates and serves.
01
Measure
Dose the powder by weight — the same in every location.
02
Add water
Water quantity per technical sheet (being validated).
03
Mix and rest
Stir until the texture comes together; resting time per sheet.
04
Serve
Table salsa, kitchen base or marinade — consistent every batch.
Water ratios and times are published only once validated by a lab or chef.
