GUAJILLO MIRASOL PEPPER SEEDS

Guajillo (Mirasol) Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds

Bold, smoky, and steeped in tradition—Guajillo, also known as Mirasol, is one of the most beloved chiles in Mexican cuisine. These slender, glossy red peppers grow upright like little suns (“mirasol” means “looking at the sun” in Spanish), and they bring a mild-to-moderate heat with a complex, slightly fruity flavor that’s perfect for sauces, moles, and marinades.

Once dried, Guajillo peppers develop a deep red hue and a leathery texture, ideal for rehydrating and blending into rich, savory salsas or chile pastes. The heat is mellow and pleasant—enough to warm the palate without overpowering it.
