puya chiles whole

Puya (pulla) chiles are dark red chiles which are related to the guajillo chile.  Puya chiles have a sharp flavor, slightly like cherries and have an intense heat. The puya is hotter than the guajillo but the two are frequently used together for a more "picante" sauce.  This chile is particularly useful in salsas and stews. These chiles average from 4" to 5" long and about 3/4" to 1" wide at the top, tapering down to about 1/4" right above the narrow tip.

 

Packaging: 8 ounce bag (there are an average of 12 chiles per ounce).
