Dried Chili Peppers | Best Peppers for Cooking

A guajillo chili or guajillo chile is the dried form of mirasol chili, a variety of chile pepper of the species Capsicum annuum, and is one of the most commonly used chilies in Mexican cuisine. The Mexican state of Zacatecas is one of the main producers of Guajillo chilies. There are two varieties that are distinguished by their size and heat factors. The guajillo "Puya" is the smallest and hottest of the two. In contrast, the longer and wider guajillo has a more pronounced, richer flavor and is somewhat less spicy.
