Ingredients: 100% whole pequin chili's Uses: Deep, rich, and medium smoky in flavor, Chile Pequin adds a bold, fiery kick to any dish. Despite its small size, this chili packs serious heat, ranging from 30,000-50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). In fact, “Pequin” means “smallest,” and it’s true that the smaller the chili, the hotter the punch! Perfect for dressing up dishes that need a bold, spicy element. Try it: • Crushed and sprinkled over pizza, tacos, or grilled meats. • Stirred into salsas, sauces, or chili for intense heat and smoky depth. • Blended into soups, stews, or marinades. • Infused into vinegar or oil for a spicy homemade condiment. • Tossed with roasted vegetables or potatoes for a bold, smoky twist. • Ground and added to spice rubs for meats or seafood. For the boldest flavor, lightly toast the peppers before grinding or blending. A little goes a long way, making Chile Pequin the perfect ingredient for those who love dishes with a serious spicy kick!
