Dried Pequin Chile

Pequin chiles may be small in size, but they pack a punch. These tiny, vibrant red Mexican chiles deliver a bold, fiery heat — significantly hotter than a jalapeño — balanced by a bright, citrusy flavour with smoky and slightly fruity undertones. Their intense heat and sharp flavour make them perfect for adding depth and kick to a variety of dishes.

Use Pequin chiles to spice up salsas, soups, vinegars, marinades, and pickling blends. They pair especially well with chicken, seafood, beans and tomato-based sauces, and are a favourite in traditional Mexican dishes like adobo and escabeche.

Use them whole or crushed as a seasoning, or rehydrate in warm water for 15 minutes to blend into hot sauces or fiery pastes.
