About Chile Chiltepin

The Chiltepin (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) is widely regarded as the ancestor of all cultivated chiles. It grows wild across the Sierra Madre mountains of Northern Mexico and has been used in traditional cooking and folk medicine for thousands of years. Its heat is intense but short-lived — making it a favorite among serious chile enthusiasts.

How to use

• Drop whole into broths, beans, or stews while cooking
• Crush between your fingers over tacos, eggs, or pizza
• Blend into salsas, hot sauces, or adobo marinades
• Toast briefly in a dry skillet to intensify the smoky depth
