Corona Real California Chile Pods are premium dried Anaheim peppers, known for their deep burgundy color and wrinkled, dehydrated skin. These whole chile pods measure approximately five to seven inches long and two to three inches wide, offering a mild heat level of 500-2,500 Scoville units with a meaty, smoky chile flavor.

These versatile dried peppers are a staple of Mexican cuisine. To use, simply rehydrate by removing stems and seeds, then soaking in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft and flexible. Once rehydrated, blend into authentic red chile sauces, enchilada sauces, moles, and stews. They can also be ground into powder for seasonings and spice rubs, or added to salsas, bean soups, tamales, and chili for a rich, earthy depth of flavor.

Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 2 years. In humid climates, freezer storage is recommended to maintain freshness.
