How to Cook with Whole Dried Chile Peppers

History and growing traditions

Guajillo is the dried form of the mirasol chile. Mirasol and guajillo are important dried-chile crops in Zacatecas, Mexico, where growers have long produced chiles for cooking and trade. Guajillo became a staple in Mexican adobos, moles, and red sauces because dried pods store well and contribute color and flavor when rehydrated or ground.

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.
