Chili De Arbol

The Chile de Arbol originates from Mexico and has an average heat from 15,000 to 40,000 Scoville units. Its name means "tree chili" in spanish as the plants have a tree-like growth with a small, woody trunk.

The chillies are similar to the Cayenne in terms of appearance and colour, but less spicy. They have a slightly smoky, grassy flavour that goes great with hearty dishes, stews, chili con carne and Barbecue sauces.
