About PALMEX Cuadro 10x10 / Acerca de los Cuadros

Our PALMEX Cuadro 10x10 (Wheat Flour Pellets) are the large 10cm × 10cm square version of the iconic PALMEX brand pellets — fry them in hot oil and they puff up dramatically into golden, crispy "duros" (also known as "chicharrones de harina"). The base for one of Mexico's most beloved street snacks: dust with chile, lime, salt, and a drizzle of valentina or chamoy.

Los cuadros PALMEX 10x10 son la versión grande (10cm × 10cm) de los famosos pellets PALMEX para freír "duros" o "chicharrones de harina" — el snack callejero mexicano por excelencia. Pellets crudos de harina de trigo que al freírse se inflan dramáticamente, dorados y crujientes. Ideal para restaurantes, fritangueros, fruterías, fiestas, y como base para botanas dulces o saladas con chile, limón, salsa Valentina o chamoy.

Quick Tip / Tip rápido

Heat your oil to 350°F (175°C) before frying — too cold and the pellets won't puff, too hot and they burn. Drop them in carefully — they puff up in 5–7 seconds.
Calienta el aceite a 175°C ANTES de freír — frío y los duros no se inflan, demasiado caliente y se queman. Suéltalos con cuidado — se inflan en 5–7 segundos.


Recipe Inspiration / Receta Sugerida — Duros con Chile y Limón (Mexican Street Snack)

Ingredients (serves 6): 1 lb PALMEX cuadros 10x10 (about 60 pieces), vegetable oil for frying (4 cups in deep pot), lime juice (2 limes), chile martajado con limón (Tajín-style), salt to taste, optional: salsa Valentina, chamoy, hot sauce.

Steps: 1) Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot or wok. 2) Drop 4–6 pellets at a time into hot oil — they will puff DRAMATICALLY in 5–7 seconds, more than tripling in size. Don't crowd. 3) Remove with slotted spoon as soon as fully puffed and golden. 4) Drain on paper towels. 5) While still warm, sprinkle generously with chile martajado and salt. 6) Serve in paper cones or boats with lime wedges and salsa Valentina or chamoy on the side.

Calienta aceite a 175°C en olla profunda. Suelta 4–6 pellets a la vez — se inflan dramáticamente en 5–7 segundos. Saca con espumadera al estar dorados. Escurre. Espolvorea generoso con chile martajado y sal. Sirve con limón y salsa Valentina o chamoy. La botana callejera mexicana más adictiva — niños y adultos no paran de comerlos.

Saturday: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Walk-ins welcome 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM — no appointment needed. Outside those hours, call ahead at +1 (213) 706-6496 and we'll have your order staged and ready.

How can I pay if I pick up in person?

At our warehouse we accept cash and Zelle. Card and digital wallet payments are available for online orders — if you'd prefer to pay by card, place your order online, select store pickup, and come get it.

En el almacén aceptamos efectivo y Zelle. Con tarjeta: haz tu pedido en línea, selecciona retiro en tienda y pásalo a recoger.


What is your return policy?

Because we sell fresh and perishable food in bulk, we accept returns in two situations:

  • Quality defect attributable to us — product received spoiled or in unsuitable condition, an incorrect item shipped, or a product that doesn't match its description. We cover return shipping.
  • Unopened product — if you change your mind, you may return any item still unopened, unused, and sealed in its original packaging exactly as we shipped it. Return shipping is at your cost.

Requests must be made within 3 days of receiving your order, with photos. If approved, you choose — a replacement or a full refund.

Aceptamos devoluciones por defecto de calidad atribuible a nosotros (cubrimos el flete) o por producto sin abrir y sellado (el flete corre por tu cuenta). Solicitud dentro de 3 días con fotos.

Read the full refund policy → / Ver la política completa →


My order arrived damaged. What do I do?

Contact us within 24 hours with photos of the outer packaging and the product inside. All orders leave inspected and properly packed, so transit damage is the carrier's responsibility — but we'll help you file the claim, since the shipment is insured under our carrier account.

Contáctanos dentro de 24 horas con fotos del empaque y del producto. Te ayudamos a levantar el reclamo con el transportista.


Do you sell wholesale / in bulk?

That's most of what we do. We supply restaurants, bakeries, Mexican grocery stores, spice blenders, and foodservice distributors across the U.S. Most products are priced per pound, and the price drops as volume goes up.

El mayoreo es la mayor parte de lo que hacemos. Precios por libra que bajan al aumentar el volumen.

Browse our wholesale catalog → / Ver catálogo de mayoreo →


Do you offer payment terms?

Payment is due at the time of order. We don't currently offer net terms or credit accounts — this keeps our per-pound pricing as low as it is.

El pago es al momento del pedido. No manejamos crédito ni términos net.


How should I store my spices and dried fruit?

Keep everything in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once you open a bulk bag, transfer what you're not using into an airtight container. Whole spices hold their aroma far longer than ground. Dried fruit stays plump sealed; refrigeration extends shelf life in humid climates.

Guarda todo en un lugar fresco, seco y sin luz. Al abrir una bolsa, pasa lo demás a un recipiente hermético.


Are your products authentic Mexican?

We import directly and ship from the border at McAllen, Texas. Our Ceylon cinnamon is true cinnamon from Sri Lanka — not the harsher Cassia most U.S. supermarkets carry.

Importamos directo y enviamos desde McAllen, Texas. Nuestra canela es de Ceylán verdadera, no Cassia.
