Cilantro is best used when fresh for salsa or guacamole. It is recommended to keep Cilantro wrapped in a damp towel. Dried Guajillo Chiles are spicier than Ancho Chiles, but are still good over fruits, vegetables, soups, or stews. Jicama, which is a root vegetable much like a potato, is great in slaws and salads or as a snack by itself. Masa Harina comes from dried grain corn cooked with lime and then ground into a paste.
