Good punch of heat, use with care

These whole red peppers have a very nice sharp spice and a sweet smoky undertone. Rehydrated nicely in warm water before slicing for beef stir-fry. Knocked off one star only because 50g goes quickly if you make chili oil often, but the quality is five out of five.

Clean whole dried chilies

Super clean whole dried chilies. Great kick in spicy noodle soups and stir fries.

Vibrant red color, real chili heat

You can immediately spot the difference between machine-dehydrated peppers and these sun-dried ones. The color is deep ruby red rather than dusty brown, and the skin is supple. I snipped a couple into hot olive oil with minced garlic for a spicy aglio e olio pasta - it infused the oil with a clean, fruity heat that didn't scorch or turn bitter. Love that they're grown and sun-dried on a California farm.

Fresh, fragrant, and fiery

A lot of bulk dried chili peppers from the market taste old or dusty, but these smell like fresh dried harvest. Adds the perfect level of spicy kick to homemade marinara and noodle broths. Definitely keeping a pouch in the pantry!

Fresh, fragrant, and fiery

A lot of bulk market chilies feel brittle and taste dusty, but these smell like freshly dried harvest peppers. A single chopped pepper adds a pleasant kick to a large pot of vegetable soup. Excellent addition to the spice cabinet!

Perfect for homemade infused chili oil

I coarsely crushed a handful of these peppers with a mortar and pestle and poured hot sesame oil over them with scallions. The natural oils and fragrance in the chili came through beautifully without any stale or scorched taste. Knowing they retain extra vitamins and minerals from proper sun drying is a huge plus.

Perfect for homemade fragrant chili oil

I coarsely crushed a handful using a mortar and pestle and poured hot sesame and peanut oil over them with aromatics. The peppers released a vibrant red color and a rich, toasted aroma without scorching.
