Pequin Peppers are highly sought after in Mexico, and are often used to add an extra kick of flavor to dishes like salsa and enchiladas. They have a citrusy and nutty flavor, with a similar heat level to Cayenne peppers. Chili Pequins are commonly used to make salsa, enchiladas, jellies, and more.
We offer both Pequin Pepper Flakes and Pequin Pepper Powder for those who prefer a fine powder for their recipes.
Sonoran Spice Pequin Peppers have a medium heat level ranging from 30,000-60,000 SHU. This sits them above the Jalapeño, but milder than the Habanero.
