Magic Plant Red Cascabel Pepper Powder
The Nutty "Rattle" Pepper—Mellow Heat with a Rich, Woodsy Flavor.
Overview
Our natural Red Cascabel packs a gentle heat at 1,000 to 3,000 (SHUs). Known as the "rattle chili" because of the sound the seeds make in the pod, this pepper offers a steady, mild burn. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex nutty and woodsy flavor! Our Red Cascabel ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are perfectly mild (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is approachable and savory, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.
The Red Cascabel is a favorite in traditional Mexican cuisine, celebrated for its unique shape and depth of flavor. Mellow Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Cascabel peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, tough skin and a deep reddish-brown color. They are often characterized by their round, cherry-like shape, giving them a "jingle bell" or "cascabel" appearance.

Need More Heat?
Enhance the profile: If you love the nutty flavor of the Cascabel but want more fire, you can mix our ground Red Cascabel with our hotter peppers like our Red Habanero or Ghost Pepper. This will give you the rich, earthy base of the Cascabel while pushing the heat to your desired level.
