Review: Wonderful! - Such an improvement from the crusty, dusty peppers I’ve been using. These were large, pliable, fragrant, and flavorful. I’ll never go back to what I was using.
Review: Good peppers! - Came quickly for recipe we really wanted to try and weren't sure if they were available near us. They're milder, not a spicy hot type of dried pepper, flavor was not bitter and freshness date was sometime in 2026, I did check it but can't remember exact date. They were used in a new red sauce recipe with dried guajillo peppers we already had on hand so can't comment on individual flavor but we liked the sauce. Would order again.
