Mirasol Chili Premium Dried Red Pepper Medium Heat Ideal for Traditional Sauces and Seasoning

Mirasol chili is a vibrant red, medium-hot chili known for its slender, slightly curved shape and smooth skin. The name “Mirasol” means “looking at the sun” in Spanish, referring to the way the chili pods grow pointing upwards toward the sky. It has a bright, fruity flavor with a moderate heat that is less intense than cayenne but enough to add a noticeable kick to dishes. Commonly used in Mexican cuisine, Mirasol chilies are often dried (where they are called Guajillo chilies) or used fresh in salsas, sauces, soups, and stews. They impart both color and flavor, offering a rich, slightly smoky sweetness. Mirasol chilies are also rich in vitamins A and C and antioxidants, making them both flavorful and nutritious.
