4" Pepper Chile de Arbol

Shaped similar to a cayenne chile, but smaller, this chile grows on a large plant that forms a multi-branching tree-like shape. Considered to be a hot chile, this two to three-inch chile's heat offers a distinctive robust flavor with medium-hot pungency ranging between 15,000 and 30,000 Scoville units. Thin-fleshed, Red Arbol chile has a smoky, tannic, grassy flavor with a lively acidic, penetrating heat, a flavor that becomes more pronounced once this chile pepper is dried or toasted.

Uses: Southwestern, Thai, and Mexican cuisine, salsas, hot sauce production.
