AAA - Red De Arbol Peppers Powder

Magic Plant Red De Arbol Pepper Powder

The Fiery Heart of Mexican Cuisine—Nutty Heat with a Smoky Finish.

Overview

Our natural Red De Arbol packs a powerful heat at 15,000 to 30,000 (SHUs). Often compared to Cayenne but with more depth, De Arbol peppers provide a sharp, clean burn that is respected by chefs worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex nutty and slightly smoky flavor! Our Red De Arbol ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are significantly hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is immediate and punchy, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The De Arbol, or "tree chili," is named for its sturdy, woody stems, resulting in its potent and consistent heat level. Bold Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, De Arbol peppers have a distinctive appearance with a slender, curved shape and a brilliant crimson color. They are often characterized by their smooth skin and ability to maintain their vibrant red hue even after drying, giving them a professional and high-quality appearance.

This pepper is perfect in moderate doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and marinades. For those who want that classic Mexican street-food heat, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fine powder with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the nutty, smoky flavor of the De Arbol without the overwhelming heat.
