tajin

Tajín is a Mexican brand of chili-lime seasoning used as a condiment to add heat, acidity, and salt to foods. The flagship product, Tajín Clásico, is a powder made from ground dried chilies, dehydrated lime, and salt. It is commonly sprinkled on fresh fruit such as mango, pineapple, and watermelon, as well as vegetables like cucumber and jicama, and on snacks and street-food dishes to provide a tangy, spicy profile.

Originating in Veracruz, Mexico, Tajín has grown into an internationally marketed seasoning with broad availability in North America, Europe, and other regions. It has become widely associated with Mexican street food and is used in both traditional and fusion preparations.

The Tajín brand offers several varieties beyond Clásico, including a mild version and other fruit-oriented blends. These products expand the range of heat levels and citrus notes available to consumers.

Nutritional and usage considerations include its high sodium content, so users may choose to moderate application for salt-restricted diets. As a versatile finishing touch, Tajín is often used on fruits, vegetables, corn snacks, and various prepared foods to enhance flavor with a distinctive chili-lime salute.
