Chilhuacle Negro Chilli

‘Ancient and rare chilli from Mexico ‘

C. Annuum

Chilhuacle Negro Chilli originates from the Valley of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Chilhuacle means ‘ancient chilli’ in Nahualt, which is the language of the Aztec people.

The plant grows well in a pot to around 40 cm in height. Ease to grow and maintain.

The pods start off a dark green and end up a dark brown colour, when they are mature.

This chilli is used in a classic Mexican sauce called Mole Negro and is a dark very flavoursome sauce in the Mexican cuisine. You would also be able to use this unique chilli in any cooking, in a salsa, a sauce or dried. When you dry the chillies they get an amazing sweet and smoky flavour, therefore a great chilli for powder.

Pod size: 6 cm long and 4-4.5 cm wide.

Flavour: It has a really nice sweet smoky flavour dried. Fresh they are very sweet and juicy.

Heat level: Medium heat
