Need a replacement Tejolote? Your molcajetes don't need to be neglected because you don't have a tejolote (pestle). MexGrocer.com comes to your rescue with high quality hand stone pestles to complement your molcajetes.

Tejolote pronounced [the-hoh-LOH-the] also known as temolote o telmalchin, is the matching hand-held grinding tool also made of the same volcanic rock or basalt material than the Molcajete. Tejolote or Texolotl derives from the Nahuatl Tetl (Stone) y Xocotl (Grind or pulverize); It's a heavy, oval shaped rock used to grind and pulverize peppers, onions, tomatoes and spices into thick purees and salsas in a molcajete. The Ancient Aztecs made their molcajetes out of ceramic instead of stone, and used to grind grains, herbs, and other food substances as well as medicines.
