Chile Cascabel Xatze 30 g – The Smoky, Earthy Flavor That Brings Your Recipes to Life
Chile Cascabel Xatze is one of the most distinctive and cherished dried chilies in Mexican gastronomy. Its name, "cascabel", comes from the rattling sound it makes when shaken, as its loose seeds create a unique jingle similar to a rattle. With a mild, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor, this chili adds depth and aroma to a variety of dishes without being overly spicy, making it perfect for those who seek a balance of flavor and heat.
With its dark red color and round shape, Chile Cascabel is perfect for preparing sauces, marinades, stews, and broths, especially when lightly toasted before use. Its ability to blend seamlessly with ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, and spices makes it indispensable for traditional Mexican recipes and modern culinary interpretations.
