NotesProduct Details
Chiles de Árbol are small, 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. Chile de Árbol means “tree chile" in Spanish, which may refer to the woody stem of the pepper.

Very popular in Mexican cooking, with a bold, smoky flavor. Used dried or powdered. Also used to make chile pepper wreaths, or ristras, because they keep their dark red color when dried.
