AAA - Pasilla Negro Pepper Granules

Magic Plant Pasilla Negro Pepper Granules

The Gourmet "Raisin" Chili—Rich, Smoky Flavor with a Smooth, Mild Heat.

Overview

Our natural Pasilla Negro packs a gentle, sophisticated heat at 1,000 to 2,500 (SHUs). Unlike the extreme "creeper heat" of super-hots, the Pasilla Negro provides a steady, mellow warmth. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and dried-fruit flavor! Our Pasilla Negro ground pepper, crushed granules, and dry whole pods are mild (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the flavor is deep and earthy, so start with a taste test to gauge how its rich profile enhances your specific dish.

The Pasilla Negro is the dried form of the Chilaca pepper, resulting in its dark, wrinkled appearance and deep flavor level. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Pasilla Negro peppers have a distinctive appearance with a long, narrow shape and a dark, almost black color. They are often characterized by their raisin-like aroma and wrinkled skin, giving them a "negro" or dark appearance that is highly prized in traditional Mexican cuisine.

The Experience

Pasilla Negro peppers are known to be a "Holy Trinity" chili for authentic Mexican cooking! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' pasillas. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in generous doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, moles, soups, and salsas. For a rich, earthy finish, just sprinkle more directly on top!

Looking for More Depth?

Layer the flavor: If you're looking for a more complex profile, you can mix our Pasilla Negro granules with our other mild peppers like our Chipotle Morita for extra smokiness or our Red Poblano Mulato Pepper to lean into the sweeter, chocolatey notes. This will give you the legendary "Mole" flavor profile without overwhelming heat.
