Taj�n’s new chili and lime sorbets will spice up your summer
Mexican seasoning Taj�n has released an unexpected new product that’s got everyone’s taste buds tingling – sorbet!
The famous spice mix has been used to flavor two different sorbets, adding a spicy twist to your summer dessert.
Taj�n releases spicy sorbets
One of them is mango flavored, while the other is lime, and they’re both finished off with Taj�n’s Chili Lime Seasoning. They have been spotted at the grocery store HEB this week, retailing at $6.97 for a 33.8 oz tub.
“Experience the refreshing taste of lime sorbet paired with Taj�n chili lime seasoning for a frozen treat everyone enjoys,” the description says.
Both are available in-store and online, and are fat-free, dairy-free, and made without any preservatives or artificial flavors.
The much-loved spice mix was created in 1985 by Horacio Fern�ndez, who strived to recreate the flavors of a sauce made by his grandmother. It’s named after the Mexican archaeological site�El Taj�n, which he visited in 1985.
Aj� means chili pepper in Spanish, so the name perfectly combines his love for the pre-Columbian�site with the seasoning’s contents. The spice mix consists predominantly of lime,�chili peppers and salt, and is used to flavor dishes across the world.
‘What in the ice-cold heartburn’
The new sorbets have had mixed reactions, with some eager to try the spicy desserts and others not so sure.
One person said: “I want to try them.”
“This is wild!” someone else added.
A third person gasped: “What in the ice-cold heartburn.”
Another said the sorbets would make perfect margarita floats.
One guy tried the sorbets on TikTok and said you get an “overload” of Taj�n flavor . He rated the mango 7/10 and the lime 8.5/10, describing them as the “perfect summer snack”.
The new release comes as Starbucks has recently launched a range of spicy refreshers that contain real chili powder!
There are three flavors, Spicy Dragonfruit, Spicy Pineapple and Spicy Strawberry, which are all combined with a Spicy Chili Powder Blend.
