Chili Pasilla Bajio
hot pepper
Description
The Chili Pasilla Bajio is a revered chili pepper known for its rich, complex flavor, and distinctive dried form. When dried, it develops a dark, almost black color and a wrinkled texture, hence its name, 'pasilla' meaning 'little raisin'. It's known for its fruity, smoky notes. The fresh chilies are dark green, and as they mature, they turn a deep reddish-brown. They have a mild to medium heat level. These peppers are essential in Mexican cuisine. For the best flavor, harvest peppers when they are mature and red. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.
