The dried version of the Chilaca chile pepper, Spiceology’s Whole Pasilla Pods are the perfectly mild way to add a smoky, earthy flavor to any traditional or non-traditional dish. Spanish for “little raisins,” these are the ideal chile for those looking to make savory sauces, flavor-packed salsas or velvety molés. Pasilla chili pods are dried ripe pepper pods that are nearly black in color, offering a slightly sweet prune aroma and pungent flavor.
