History and growing traditions

Chile de Árbol is part of Mexico's dried-chile tradition. Agricultural publications in Zacatecas list de Árbol among the varieties grown for drying, alongside ancho, puya, and mirasol. Drying made these peppers useful beyond the harvest, and their concentrated heat suits salsas, chile oils, and sauces where a small amount goes a long way.

This product contains whole dried peppers, which can be rehydrated for sauces and stews. This history describes the pepper variety, not the verified growing origin of this batch.
