De Arbol chillies are related to cayenne and piquin peppers, and have a distinctive smoky and earthy flavour. De arbol chillies retain their bright red colour after drying which makes them perfect for adding a splash of colour to dishes.
De Arbol chillies pack a punch and can score a 6 - 7 on a heat scale of 1 to 10. De Arbol chillies can be used in place of cayenne as the heat levels are similar and they have additional flavour. Delicious in stir fry, curries, hot sauces and salsa.
