Description
Cascabel chilies pronounced [kahs-kah-BEL], are small, plump, round, smooth, shinny skinned chiles native to the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Cascabel which means rattle, are also known as guajones, coras, bola chili or chile bola (Spanish for ball chili) referring to its round shape. They are nicknamed rattle chiles because it refers to the sound the loose seeds make inside a dried cascabel when the chile is shaken. Cascabel Chiles are moderately hot with a nutty flavor and rich, deep reddish-brown color with an almost transparent thick skin when dried. They are grown in many states in Mexico including Durango, Jalisco, Guerrero, and Coahuila. The Cascabel chile is moderately hot, with a sweet, slightly smoky, nuttly flavor with rich tannic nuance and no extreme heat that goes great with meats, chicken or fish. Tipically the cascabels are toasted on a comal and then used in soups, sauces, salsas and stews. Cascabel Chiles are available in powdered, dried and pureed forms and Ranchero brings the very best and fine quality products to your table. You can substitute the cascabels with guajillo, ancho, pequin, tepin or cayenne pepper.

This is a real molcajete! It arrived today and I just finished seasoning it. I can’t wait to make food with it. It measures about 8” in diameter outside to outside.

I love this molcajete. Made of quality stone, easily prepped, and very stable. I use mine for grinding spices and am very happy with it.
