Costeno amarillo

A shiny, amber colored chile pepper related to the guajillo. The peppers grown in the Oaxaca and Guerrero region of Mexico have a slightly citrus, crisp flavor and used in moles, soups and stews. The chiles are 2 - 3" long and about 1" wide across the top, tapering down. (Amarillo means "yellow" in Spanish)

Chile plants are available at Cross Country Nurseries, see buy link. Dried chiles are available at some specialty markets.
