Common names include chiltepín, chiltepe, and chile tepin, as well as turkey, bird’s eye, or simply bird peppers, due to their consumption and spread by wild birds. Chiltepin is a perennial shrub that usually grows to a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), but sometimes reaches 3 m (9.8 ft) and in areas without hard frost in winter, plants can live 35-50 years. Thin fleshed, has a dry and dusty flavor and a searing transient heat. Claimed to be hotter and or equal to Habanero, it is used to make salsas, or to add flavor to soups, stews, and vinegars. El chiltepín o chiltepe es un chile de la especie Capsicum annum utilizado en toda latino America, desde el norte de México hasta Sudamérica. Es muy frecuentemente utilizado para hacer salsas o como condimento. En México se disfruta en platillos como el menudo, el pozole o el tapixte en Veracruz, así como cualquier tipo de sopas. También es usado en cocina de mariscos, por ejemplo molcajetes fríos o calientes. Su uso agrega un toque muy picoso a los platillos, sin hacerlos perder su sabor original que cualquier otro chile seco no lo logra. El chiltepín generalmente se recolecta en estado silvestre cuando aún presenta una maduración incompleta, para posteriormente ponerse a secar, es común que en la zona rural forme parte del huerto familiar, junto con otras plantas de uso común. Review: These are my all-time favorite peppers. - I love these peppers. I know heat is subjective, but I can take and eat any pepper from a mild serrano to a scorching carolina reaper. These peppers have a 100-200k heat but unlike any Habanero varieties the heat doesn't linger but it is nice and sharp. I sometimes put them in my chili whole. One of my friends at work claimed it blinded him temporarily like a tiny atomic bomb. Great on anything that needs heat and they're fresh enough to get the unique spicy slightly smokey chiltepin flavor. Highly recommended. Review: Hot sauce peppers - The real thing and makes great hot sauce ## Features - Chiltepin is claimed to be hotter or equal to Habanero. - Great product to make salsas. - Use to add flavor to soups, stews, vinegar’s or any other dish. - It is commonly used in seafood cuisine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00O98EIMK | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,736 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #194 in Chili Powders | | Brand | Morel Distribution Company | | Brand Name | Morel Distribution Company | | Color | Red | | Cuisine | Mexican | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 118 Reviews | | Item Form | Whole Peppers | | Manufacturer | Morel Distribution Company | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 6 | | Produce Sold As Format | Pre-packaged | | Produce sold as | Pre-packaged | | Size | 1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 640793718913 | | Unit Count | 16 Ounce | ## Images ![Dried Chiltepin Peppers (Chili Tepin) // Weights: Dried Chiltepin Peppers (Chili Tepin) // Weights: 8 Oz, 12 Oz, 1 Lb, 2 Lbs & 5 Lbs!!

Not green. So I would saying NOT fresh picked. I have ordered these several times and always been very happy. **Q: Why is it cheaper to buy 2-8oz bags rather tgan a 1lb bag, same for 2-1lb bags and a 2lb bag?** A: Prices are cheaper if you buy in bulk. **Q: Where is the chilitepin grown?** A: I personally am not aware of where these specific chiltepin peppers are grown, but I know that Southern Arizona as well as Northern Sonora, Mexico is where the best are grown, processed and sold from. Some are grown in other Asian countries but they do not taste the same nor are they crunchy like the Arizonan peppers. And even the packaging of the ones I bought did not reveal its original source so, sorry, I wish I could help you better with the information you seek. **Q: Volume wise, about how many cups per pound?** A: It depends if they’re crushed or not. It would be approximately 12 or so cups left intact, crushed it could only be 2 or 3 cups or so. These things are hotter than the surface of the sun and 4 ounces lasts me a year or more? Why would you need a pound? A pound would be like a weapon of mass destruction. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are my all-time favorite peppers. *by R***I on April 19, 2023* I love these peppers.
