Dried Arbol Chilli Peppers 100g

Dried arbol chillies are small, slender Mexican peppers known for their vivid red colour and sharp, direct heat. Sometimes called “rat’s tail” or “bird’s beak” chillies because of their narrow shape, they may be little, but they bring a clean, fiery kick that punches well above their size.

Sitting around 15,000 to 30,000 SHU, arbol chillies are hotter than jalapeños, with an earthy, slightly nutty flavour and a subtle smokiness beneath the burn. Toast them and blend into traditional Mexican salsas, crush into flakes, grind into powder, or add whole to soups, stews, oils and stir-fries.
