Easy Math:
basic information
Pasilla Bajio peppers (Capsicum annuum), are a staple in Mexican cuisine. Named "little raisin" in Spanish for their dark, wrinkled, dried appearance, these peppers offer a mild to medium heat, ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 Scoville Heat Units. They have a rich, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor with earthy, fruity, and raisin-like notes, making them a key ingredient in mole sauces, salsas, and adobo. Typically 6 to 8 inches long, the dried form is darker and narrower than ancho peppers, with a complex profile that pairs well with fruits, meats, and spices.
