If you love authentic Mexican cuisine, then Whole Dried Mulato Peppers are an essential ingredient to have in your pantry. Named after the Spanish word for “dark” on account of their deep red color and intense flavor, these chiles offer a spicier alternative to traditional Ancho Chile peppers. Unlike anchos that are dried poblano peppers picked at an early stage, mulatos are left to fully mature on the plant and turn a bright red before being dried. The result is a finely-textured pepper that gives dishes like moles or chile con carne an extra bit of oomph.
The flavor of mulatos is truly unique - it features sweet notes of raisins along with earthy and aromatic flavors, making it a favorite among gourmet foodies everywhere. From providing subtle heat to enhancing the spicy kick of your favorite Mexican dishes, these versatile chiles provide infinite possibilities. These whole dried pepper are grown using organic practices, hand picked and dried by Booneville Barn Collective.

Grown with organic and sustainable practices on their Renegade certified seven acre farm, the chiles are ready to be harvested by hand after five months in the fields. They’re dried in preparation for de-stemming and deseeding, before being carefully ground and packaged, all on the farm.
