Description: Bring authentic Mexican heat to your garden and kitchen with Chile de Árbol chili seeds. Known as "tree chili" due to its woody stems, this Capsicum annuum variety is celebrated for its slender, curved pods and vibrant red colour. With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) range of 15,000 to 30,000, these peppers deliver a medium-hot punch, hotter than jalapeños but milder than cayenne.

Chile de Árbol peppers are prized for their smoky, nutty flavour, making them a versatile ingredient in salsas, sauces, soups, and stews. Dried pods retain their glossy red hue, adding decorative value to wreaths and kitchen displays. Whether fresh, dried, or powdered, these chilies are a staple in Mexican cuisine and a favorite among spice enthusiasts.
