origin
Chili peppers come from Mexico and were discovered by Christopher Columbus in his search for pepper. He brought the chili peppers to Europe.
Botany
Chilies belong to the nightshade family and there are more than 150 varieties. The chili plant grows to a height of about 60 cm and has white flowers. The pungency of your pods depends on the climate, where it thrives and on the maturity of each chili pod. Their color ranges from green, orange yellow, red to black.
The Chili Guajillo powder are crushed Mirasol chili pods of the genus Capsicum annuum. These pods grow upright on the plant and reach a length of up to 15 cm and a width of 2-3 cm. In October, harvest time, then the ripe pods are dark red. After drying in the sun, they are ground and packaged.
Storage of spices
Please refill all of your spices and spice mixes into jars with screw cap. Put these glasses in bubbly boiling water for 5 minutes to make the glasses sterile before pouring in their spices. The jars then store dark, in dry environment and cool.
