Chili Chiltepin dried (seco), 15 g

Dried chili chiltepin pods, whole

The original form of all chilies. Almost all known hot and mild chili and bell peppers today are descended from this original variety. Our Chiltepin grows in northern Mexico , where the chilies are painstakingly harvested by hand . Many years ago, the indigenous peoples of Mexico used this chili and considered it sacred. Even today, it remains an essential ingredient in traditional dishes.

Chiltepin is among the most endangered foods of the Americas. For this reason, the Slow Food Foundation has included the chili in its " Ark of Taste," an international catalog of endangered historical foods with the aim of preserving them. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of harvesting chili, it is one of the most expensive spices in the world .
Fun fact: Wild chili peppers are spread by birds. They eat the small, fiery peppers and excrete the seeds elsewhere. This also makes chiltepin unique.

Notes:

• Very strong: If you are not familiar with chiltepin, please be careful with the dosage.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the spice.
• Do not touch eyes/face
• Keep out of reach of children
• The consistency and color of our product may vary slightly depending on temperature and growing conditions. While this may slightly alter its appearance, it does not affect the quality of the product.

It's difficult to grind in ordinary pepper mills, but don't worry – we have something for you: Take a look at our handcrafted wooden mortars and pestles, they work perfectly!
