A Classic Mexican Chili
Chile de Árbol (pronounced chee-lay de ARE-bowl) is a small, elongated chili known for its brick red color and distinctive smoky, grassy flavor. With a pungency range of 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, it delivers bright, acidic heat that enlivens sauces and seasonings.
Widely grown in Mexico and China, Chile de Árbol is a staple in Latin American and global cuisines. It is additive free and non-GMO, making it a clean-label option for industrial food applications.
