$8.00 / 1 lb carton

Sold Out

The Cascabel pepper is a traditional Mexican chili pepper known for its round shape, mild heat, and distinctive rattling sound when dried. In Spanish, “cascabel” means “rattle,” a reference to the loose seeds that shake inside the dried pod. Cascabel peppers are prized less for heat and more for their rich flavor. They deliver earthy, nutty, smoky notes with subtle hints of wood, dried fruit, and roasted nuts. When lightly toasted before use, the peppers develop an even deeper flavor profile that enhances sauces, soups, and traditional Mexican dishes. Cascabel peppers range from 1,500 to 2,500 Scoville Heat Units, making them a mild chili pepper with a gentle warmth rather than intense heat.
