Chiles de Árbol are small and thin Mexican peppers, growing to 2-3 inches long and less than a ½ inch wide. They mature to a bright, vibrant red, and are harvested and used at this stage.
The dried whole chilies are often used to make chili pepper wreaths, or ristras, because when dried they keep their deep red color.
Particularly popular in Guadalajara, arbol chillies have a searing but clean heat ideal for making piquant broths or fiery hot sauces
Essential in Thai curries and burnt chili paste, these peppers mature from green to red and retain their bright color when dried.
Chile De Arbol adds a spicy dynamic to many dips and sauces. The flakes of chile de arbol will resuscitate mango or tomato salsas. Country of origin Mexico.
