Magic Plant Red Guajillo Pepper Powder
The Flavor Workhorse of Mexican Cuisine—Mild Heat with Complex Fruity Notes.
Overview
Our natural Red Guajillo packs a mild and very eatable heat, averaging between 2,500 and 5,000 (SHUs). Unlike the extreme "creeper" peppers, the Guajillo provides a gentle warmth that is respected by chefs for its flavor-first profile. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet, tangy, and berry-like flavor! Our Red Guajillo ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are mild-to-medium (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is approachable, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your specific heat tolerance.
The Guajillo is the dried form of the Mirasol chili, resulting in its deep reddish-brown color and concentrated flavor. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Guajillo peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, smooth, and shiny skin. They are one of the "holy trinity" of Mexican chilies, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the culinary community.

The Experience
Red Guajillos are known to be the second most popular dried chili in Mexico! 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' Guajillos. Use our premium quality chili powder products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in generous doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For a richer sauce, just add more directly to your recipe!
Too Mild?
Layer the heat: If you love the fruity flavor of the Guajillo but want more "bite," you can blend our ground Red Guajillo powder with our hotter varieties like Red Habanero or Chile de Arbol. This will still give you the tangy, tea-like flavor of the Guajillo while elevating the overall spice level to your preference.
