Guajillo Chile Powder

Chile Guajillo translates to Big Pod in Spanish. Made from whole, dried Guajillo chiles, this fine powder boasts rich, smoky flavor that lends tons of depth and color to soups, stews and sauces.

Deep red Guajillo chile powder has a rich, fruity flavor with hints of tanginess and sweetness, along with earthy and slightly smoky undertones. It offers a mild to moderate level of heat, typically ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

Guajillo chile powder is a versatile spice used extensively in Mexican cuisine to add flavor and warmth to a wide range of dishes. It is commonly used in salsas, sauces, marinades, rubs, soups, stews and mole sauces. Guajillo chile powder can also be used as a dry rub for meats, vegetables and seafood before grilling or roasting. We love adding Guajillo Chile Powder to our Brisket Rub.
