Guajillo pepper is a popular dried chili used in Mexican cuisine, known for its rich flavor, moderate heat, and vibrant red color. Typically, Guajillo chilies measure 4 to 6 inches in length and have a long, narrow, slightly curved shape. They are often called "mirasol" chilies due to their upward orientation during growth. When fresh, Guajillo chilies are green, but they mature and turn a bright red color as they age. In their dried form, they retain this striking red hue. Guajillo chilies are highly prized for their sweet and tangy flavor with a moderate to mild level of spiciness. They have fruity nuances with hints of berries and green tea, making them a versatile ingredient suitable for a variety of dishes. Their Scoville Heat Units (SHU) typically range between 2,500 and 5,000 SHU, classifying them as moderately spicy, with a milder heat compared to chilies like jalapeños or serranos.
