The Guajillo chili, a staple in Mexican cuisine, is renowned for its role in crafting authentic salsas, moles, and various Mexican dishes. Dried Guajillo peppers, with a vibrant red hue that transforms into a rich reddish-brown when dried, are an essential ingredient in the creation of traditional Mexican mole sauce. Their fruity, smoky flavor also makes them well-suited for creating flavorful marinades and one-of-a-kind rubs for barbequed or grilled meats. Guajillo peppers are easy to grow from seed. These vigorous plants yield plentiful 4 to 6-inch-long peppers, with heavy harvests beginning around 75 days after transplant and continuing until frost. The fresh, red peppers have a medium heat level and are perfect for making fresh garden salsa, and any excess bounty can be easily dried by stringing up the peppers to dry shady, well-ventilated area. With a medium heat level ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, the Guajillo chili strikes a perfect balance, delivering the perfect amount of spiciness accompanied by a subtle hint of sweetness. This flavor profile adds depth and authenticity to a variety of dishes. Take your favorite Mexican cuisine to the next level with the fruity flavor and distinctive warmth of Guajillo chilies. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
