That's right. Whole. Dried. Chiles. We have 5 different varieties ready this year, and have plans to expand both in quantity and variety. It's exciting because we've been following Nacho's lead here. These peppers are ones that he's grown in the past mostly for himself and select friends. Both Krissy and I have enjoyed learning, tasting and cooking with Nacho as our inspiration.
- Our 2020 harvests are small! Like almost everything we grow on our farm, we save the seeds from the previous years harvest. Selecting for those with the best shape, size, productivity and, of course, taste. We're working this year to scale up, and add new varieties!
- The Yahualica is the 'mother' of the Chile de Arbol. Many, if not all of the Arbols we see in the grocery store are a Chinese version of the pepper that is faster and more productive to grow. But for those in the know, the Yahualica's flavor is hard to beat!
- One of the reasons I'm excited about whole dried chiles is because domestic production of quality peppers is hard to find. Our bags are stamped with not just the year, but with the full date they were harvested. Fresher peppers for more flavor!
- We've got big plans for these, and we're excited to share them with you first.
Ordering Note: Because these chiles are light, but also bulky, it's best to order in quantities of 2, 6 or 10. Odd amounts may result in some ... strangely filled large boxes.
Hoping for Rain!
