If you thought the flavour combinations were endless after last week's post about fresh Mexican chillies, just wait until you see them dried. In Mexico, when fresh chillies get dried they become their own thing entirely, the same way a grape becomes a raisin 🌶

Dried, they get smokier, the heat changes, and some of these are actually the base of the most traditional and iconic flavours in Mexican cuisine.

We have some of them in stock on our website in case you want to level up your Mexican cooking game. And if you want to know more about Mexican food, ingredients, and how to use these flavours while living in the UK, give us a follow and stay tuned.

Fresh Mexican chillies don't get enough credit here in the UK. Most people can only name jalapeño and habanero, but Mexico actually has 64 varieties of chillies, each with its own unique flavour and spice level. We're only including 6 on this list to keep it short 🌶

Chillies add more than just spice to Mexican food, without them there would be no sazón. You can find some of them on our website, because we know cooking Mexican food is never the same without them. Check them out via the link in our bio 🔗

And keep an eye out for our next post about dried chillies.
