Chile de Onza
$ 4.40
Description: I am not sure what these are supposed to be. I expected a habanero type, but got these. They are pretty big mild pods that ripen to a dark chocolate all the way through. Descriptions on searches are all over the place. Some say small, some big, some are thin walled, these were pretty thick walled. What I will say is they were pretty productive and very nice tasting mild pods. Below is what AI tells me to sum it up.
The Chile de Onza pepper is a relatively rare and exotic variety of chili pepper, known for its unique appearance and flavor profile. Here are some key details about it:
-
Appearance: This pepper is small to medium in size and typically has a conical shape. It often exhibits a vibrant red color when mature, though it can also be found in other colors like green when less mature.
-
Flavor: The Chile de Onza is known for its rich, smoky flavor with a moderate level of heat. It's not the spiciest pepper out there, but it certainly has a kick.
-
Usage: It's commonly used in traditional Mexican cuisine, particularly in sauces and marinades where its smoky flavor can shine. It's also popular in salsas and can be dried and ground into a powder for seasoning.
It's not as commonly found as some other types of chili peppers, which makes it a bit of a specialty item in many markets. Have you tried it before?
