PASILLA NEGRO

The Pasilla Negro (also known as Chile Negro) is a mild chili pepper that typically ranges from 1,000 to 2,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). For comparison, it is roughly 2 to 8 times milder than a standard jalapeño.

Pasilla Negro peppers are prized for their rich, complex flavor—earthy, slightly sweet, with subtle notes of cocoa and dried fruit. Mildly spicy and deeply aromatic, they elevate moles, sauces, stews, and authentic Mexican dishes to gourmet levels.
