Whole Cascabel Chiles (Chile Bola), 1 lb - Dried Mexican Peppers for Salsa Roja, Mole & Sauces, Mild to Medium Heat, by Woodland Gourmet

Brand: Woodland Gourmet

Whole Cascabel Chiles are distinctive round, bell-shaped dried peppers prized in traditional Mexican cuisine for their balanced heat and bright, earthy character. Also known as chile bola or “rattling chiles,” cascabel peppers get their name from the loose seeds inside the dried pod that create a soft rattling sound when shaken. With a Scoville range of approximately 1,500 to 10,000 heat units, cascabel chiles deliver mild to medium warmth paired with woody depth and subtle acidity. Their flavor adds complexity without overwhelming a dish, making them ideal for salsa roja, mole sauces, adobo, chili, soups, stews, and roasted tomato preparations. Because their skin remains firm even after soaking, cascabel chiles are best toasted and blended into sauces or puréed and strained for smooth texture. They also contribute excellent depth when steeped in slow-simmered recipes. Crafted from 100% dried cascabel chiles, Woodland Gourmet provides consistent quality designed for cooks seeking authentic regional flavor.
