Badia Arbol Chili Whole 3 oz

Chile de árbol whole pods are the slim, bright-red Mexican chilies known for sharp, clean heat with smoky, earthy notes — used whole, toasted, or ground depending on the dish.

Common Uses: toasted and blended into salsa de árbol, simmered into tamale and pozole broths, added whole to pots of beans or caldo, ground into chili oils, or steeped in vinegar for table hot sauce.

Pantry Role: base seasoning, brine/marinade base.

Common In: Mexican central and northern cooking, pan-Latin kitchens, and any household that builds heat from whole dried chilies rather than powders.

Pairs With: comino, garlic, tomato, dried oregano, guajillo and ancho chilies, lime, white vinegar.

Whole pods hold their heat and aroma far longer than pre-ground chili powder. Ships nationwide.
