Magic Plant Red De Arbol Pepper Flakes

The Authentic Mexican Classic—Clean Heat with a Rich, Nutty Undertone.

Overview

Our natural Red De Arbol packs a respectable heat at 15,000 to 30,000 (SHUs). Unlike "creeper" peppers, the De Arbol provides a sharp, immediate sting that is highly sought after by chefs. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and nutty flavor! Our Red De Arbol ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are significantly hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is bright and upfront, so start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red De Arbol (Spanish for "Tree Chili") is a slender, potent pepper related to the Cayenne, resulting in its clean and consistent heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, De Arbol peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, bright red skin and a curved shape. They are often characterized by their slender profile and ability to retain their vibrant color even after drying, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Red De Arbol peppers are known to be the gold standard for authentic table salsas! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' peppers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in moderate doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For a professional-grade finish, just sprinkle more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground De Arbol peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento, Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the nutty flavor of the De Arbol without the overwhelming heat.
