Ground Guajillo Chile Powder

Bright, Tangy, and Boldly Complex

Bring vibrant Mexican flavor to your kitchen with our Ground Guajillo Chile Powder, made from sun-dried guajillo chiles—one of Mexico’s most beloved peppers. Known for their deep red hue and fruity, tangy bite, guajillos deliver a medium heat with a flavor profile that’s as layered as your best mole.

This powder is a culinary chameleon: slightly smoky, gently sweet, and bursting with notes of dried berries, pine, and green tea. It’s the kind of spice that doesn’t just season—it transforms.

🔥 Flavor Profile:
• Heat Level: Medium (2,500–5,000 Scoville units)
• Tasting Notes: Tart berries, pine, tea leaves, subtle smoke
• Texture: Fine grind for even distribution

🍽️ Culinary Uses:
Guajillo powder is a staple in traditional Mexican cooking and a secret weapon in modern fusion dishes:
• Mole Sauces: Essential for building rich, layered mole with depth and brightness.
• Salsas & Enchilada Sauce: Adds tang and color to tomato-based sauces and dips.
• Pozole & Birria: Enhances broths with fruity complexity and gentle heat.
• Meat Rubs & Marinades: Perfect for pork, beef, or chicken—especially when paired with cumin and citrus.
• Sweet & Savory Pairings: Try it with chocolate, roasted nuts, or even as a bold topping for ice cream.

🌿 Freshness You Can Taste:
We grind our guajillo chiles in small batches to preserve their natural oils and vibrant aroma. Stored in airtight containers, this powder stays fresh and potent for years—but its versatility means it won’t last long on your shelf.
