MELISSAS DRIED GUAJILLO PEPPER (00200)

One of the most common chiles grown in Mexico, the Guajillo is a shiny, deep orange-red chile. Its elongated shape tapers to a point and is sometimes slightly curved. Measuring about 4-6 inches long, the Guajillo has berry tones with a sweet heat and is commonly used in salsas, chile sauces, soups and stews. Melissa’s dried peppers, sold under the Don Enrique® label (Melissa’s own line of Latin items), have a more distinctive taste than the same versions sold fresh since the process of drying peppers also brings out their flavor.
