AKNA Authentic Dried Pasilla Negro Chili Peppers , 170g- 6oz

Pasilla chilies unlock the deep, complex flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine with AKNA Dried Pasilla Chili Peppers. Known in Mexico as Chile Negro, the Pasilla is a cornerstone of gourmet cooking. Our peppers are harvested at peak ripeness and sun-dried to transform the fresh Chilaca pepper into a "little raisin" (Pasilla), boasting a wrinkled, dark mahogany skin and a flavor profile rich with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and licorice.

A Symphony of Flavor, Not Just Heat While many peppers rely on pure heat, the Pasilla is prized for its sophisticated depth. With a mild heat rating of 1,000–2,500 Scoville Heat Units, it is the perfect ingredient for families and foodies who prefer nuanced flavor over intense spiciness. It is the essential "secret ingredient" for an authentic Mole Negro, providing the earthy base that balances the richness of cocoa and spices.

Vacuum-Sealed for Farm-Fresh Quality We understand that the best salsas start with the best chiles. Most store-bought peppers are brittle and flavorless; AKNA chiles are vacuum-packed in 170g (6oz) units immediately after drying. This process locks in natural oils and moisture, ensuring your peppers arrive soft, pliable, and ready to release their smoky aroma the moment you open the bag.

Natural Wellness in Every Pod Beyond the plate, Pasilla peppers are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are naturally high in Vitamins A and C, supporting immune health, and contain capsaicin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and metabolism-boosting benefits.

How to Use:

1. Rehydrate: Soak in hot water for 20 minutes until soft.

2. Blend: Create a silky puree for enchiladas, salsas, or marinades.

3. Toast: Lightly sear the dry pods in a pan for 30 seconds to intensify the smoky notes before grinding into a custom spice rub.

Bullet Points: 

•  Authentic Mexican Flavor Profile Experience the true taste of Oaxaca with our premium Pasilla chiles. Known as the "little raisin," these whole dried peppers offer a complex, wrinkled texture and a rich, smoky flavor profile with subtle notes of dark fruit and cocoa.

•  Mild Heat, Maximum Depth Perfect for those who crave flavor over fire. With a mild heat rating (1,000–2,500 Scoville units), these chiles provide the essential base for traditional Mole Poblano, Holy Trinity sauces, and authentic tortilla soups without overwhelming the palate.

•  Freshness-Locked Vacuum Packaging Unlike brittle, dusty peppers found in standard bags, our Pasilla chiles come in a 170g (6oz) vacuum-sealed pack. This preserves the natural oils, suppleness, and aroma, ensuring your peppers arrive soft enough to deseed and toast easily.

•  100% Natural & Hand-Selected AKNA chiles are sustainably sourced and sun-dried to perfection. Our peppers are non-GMO and free from artificial additives, preservatives, or dyes—just pure, whole Mexican chiles delivered from the farm to your kitchen.

•  Versatile Culinary Staple A must-have for any gourmet pantry. Rehydrate these pods to create silky smooth enchilada sauces, rich adobos, or grind them down for a custom spice rub. They are the secret ingredient for elevating salsas, stews, and roasted meats.
