Sonora Chilo - Dried Chiltepin Pepper 1 Oz (28gr) Whole Tepin Pepper Chili Pods

Sonoran Treasure on Your Palate: Wild Chiltepin Chile

Chiltepin, also known as "red gold," holds significant value in Sonora. Despite its reputation for being extremely spicy, it only measures between 100 and 200 thousand degrees on the Scoville scale. To put this into perspective, the habanero pepper has a rating between 350 and 580 thousand degrees.

Chiltepin is not just a fiery ingredient; it is an integral part of the region's identity. Whether it is paired with machaca, tucked into a bean taco, added to a menudo, or used in a classic aguachile from the Northwest coast of Mexico, chiltepín adds not only heat but also flavor to these dishes.

Grinding chiltepin is a simple process. It can be crushed using a napkin or even by hand. However, those in the know opt for a chiltepinero, a specialized tool designed for this purpose, to avoid the risk of getting burned.

Our Chiltepin Sonorense chili is perfect for creating delicious dishes. Pair it with your favorite red aguachile, mariscos, shrimp, octopus, Micheladas, Clamatos, machaca, soups, or salsas to elevate their flavors.

We take pride in offering only the finest quality products. Our Chiltepin Peppers are 100% all-natural, containing no additives, preservatives, or chemicals.
