In Mexico the names given many fresh chilies and their dried versions differ. These names can also change depending on what region of the country the chili is grown. This makes it sometimes difficult for the average American consumer to know what they are purchasing. The pasilla or pasilla negro chili in its fresh form is the chilaca chili. When dried, the long and narrow, dark green chilaca's hue becomes a blackish-brown color. It is typically ground and used for sauces. Our pasilla negro chili has a Scoville level of between 5,000 and 15,000 units and is considered medium-hot. The earthy flavor of this powder compliments chicken, duck, seafood, lamb, mushrooms, garlic, fennel, honey, oregano and fruit. There is also a pasilla oaxaca (pronounced -Wa'hock-kah) chili. This hard to find pasilla is much hotter than the pasilla negro. In the United States the ancho pepper, which in its fresh form is a poblano is often confused with pasilla. Our Pasilla Negro, Chili Powder is 100% pure pasilla and does not contain any added salt, spices or preservatives.
