Use in the kitchen

Thanks to its low heat and sweet taste, the spice has a wide range of uses. Pasilla goes well with fruit or honey, as well as with savory dishes. It perfectly complements duck or lamb recipes and also creates harmony with seafood or mushrooms.

The light heat will guarantee that your food will be enjoyed by both big and small chili lovers. So what can you prepare for them? Basically any of your favorite recipes. But if we can give you some advice, find inspiration in Mexican cuisine. The Pasilla pepper itself comes from Mexico and is therefore typical for a wide range of recipes. So you can try making a burrito, quesadilla or enchiladas.

A dark powder that offers a unique fineness

Compared to other chili spices, Pasilla has a beautiful dark color, which it also lends to prepared dishes. Plus, you don't have to worry about dosing it. The heat of 2500 SHU places this spice on the lower rung of the Scoville scale.

If you're not too familiar with heat values, we can compare Pasilla to other, perhaps more well-known peppers. Jalapeno is two to four times hotter than this mild chili pepper. And Habanero, for example, is even 140 times hotter!

If you like chili but don't need to push your limits, then Pasilla chili powder should definitely be in your kitchen.
