Guajillos are shiny, deep orange-red with brown tones, elongated, tapering to a point and sometimes slightly curved. This chile is 4 to 6 inches long and 1 to 1� inches wide. It will add a sweet flavor with hints of berry to your recipes. Guajillos are commonly used in salsas, chile sauces, soups and stews.
The guajillo chile is the most widely used pepper in Mexico. Its flavor is very distinctive and the vibrant hues of the peppers color the dishes they are used in. The guajillo is sometimes mistaken for a cascabel because of the rattling sound its seeds make when it's shaken. The cascabel is round-ish though so the shape differentiates them.
Guajillos are placed at 5 on the Heat Scale.
