This tiny Mexican chili packs a punch! Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum, better known as chili piqu\u00edn or chili amashito, is a very hot chili native to Mexico. Dried chili piquins are about 1.2 cm long and 0.6 cm wide, with a reddish-orange color. These chilis are among the smallest of the Capsicum annuum species. Piquin chilis are tiny, red Mexican chilis that give dishes a fiery heat. Although they are super small, these chilis are extremely hot! (30,000\u201360,000 SHU [Scoville Heat Units]). In Mexico, they are commonly sprinkled with lime juice over raw vegetables and fruits like mangoes, oranges, and pineapples.<\/p>\n
Chili piquins are a common ingredient in liquid, spicy chili sauces, and with their rich flavor, they give beans, sauces, soups, and stews a fiery kick. Add 1 or 2 to your dish for a bold, spicy flavor. If you roast your chili piquins and then rehydrate them, you can make a spicy chili paste with a wonderfully sharp flavor and a hint of roasted peanuts.<\/p>\n
Description: Chili piqu\u00edn has a citrusy heat and a bitter-nutty, chocolatey note. It adds spiciness and depth to tomato sauces and red meat marinades \u2013 its size and strength also make it a good ingredient for infusing oils and vinegar.<\/p>\n
Tip: To release the flavor, briefly roast the chilies in a hot pan.<\/p>\n
Note: Chili piquins are popular in breweries because of their interesting nutty flavor, which pairs very well with the taste of hops.<\/p>\n
