1lb Chile de Arbol Food Service Size S17. Dried Arbol Whole Chilies Peppers, Chili Seco Pods for Authentic Mexican Food by 1400s Spices

Nice and flexible, ready for long term proper storage for use as needed. I was worried that they’d be dry, but I’m very pleased with the product

These chili de arbols are exceptionally suited for salsa. I toasted some and boiled others for different salsas recipes. If you’re looking for consistency of taste and heat, these are the ticket.

Most pods are a deep shade of red. Most pods had the stem removed (I think I had maybe 6 in the entire bag). While my bag had ~3/4 cups of loose seeds outside the pods, that works for me as that's where the heat is. The peppers are potent. I sneezed repeatedly as I was simply transferring the pods to air-tight mason jars. I could feel the airborne capsaicin irritate my cheeks (and I LOVE spicy foods). These have definitely not sat around the grocery store for years like my last bag did. I think that I will let my spice grinder rest for 30 minutes before opening if I grind these peppers indoors or maybe I'll grind them outside with a mask.

These dried chilies have good color and texture. I love using them in my pot of pinto beans!

Good and hot. If your a gringo like me 3-4 chili's per dish is good. Love arbol salsa

Fantastic chilies. Very fresh

Good quality good flavor. Very spicy. More heat than you would expect. Should be cheaper but no one else is selling these so they Charge what they want. Think they were $15

These peppers are really good but I like spicier peppers but for the flavor and the money it was pretty good. I made a salsa the other day from these peppers had a good taste to it but I needed something a little spicier so I added five habaneros to it give it a better flavor.
