About GUAJILLO DRIED CHILE, GUAJILLO
Kroger Guajillo Dried Chile is a whole dried chili pepper product from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private label, categorized within baking additives and extracts due to its use as a culinary flavoring agent in traditional Mexican and Latin American cooking. The product contains a single ingredient — dried guajillo chile — with no additives, preservatives, or anti-caking agents, reflecting the simplicity of a minimally processed whole dried spice product.
Guajillo chilis (Capsicum annuum var. guajillo) are among the most commonly used dried chiles in Mexican cuisine. They are the dried form of the mirasol pepper, characterized by a smooth, dark reddish-brown skin, mild to moderate heat (2,500–5,000 Scoville Heat Units), and a fruity, slightly tangy flavor with notes of dried cranberry, tomato, and green tea. They are essential ingredients in traditional sauces, mole preparations, enchilada sauces, adobo marinades, and pozole.
As a dried spice product, guajillo chiles are calorie-dense per 100 grams at approximately 400 calories, with 20 grams of protein, 60 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of fat — figures reflecting the concentrated nutrient density of dehydrated produce. However, per typical use of 5 grams or less, caloric contribution is negligible. This product is free from all major allergens. To prepare, dried guajillo chiles are typically toasted briefly in a dry pan, then soaked in hot water to reconstitute before blending into sauces or marinades. Available at Kroger-family stores serving communities with strong Latin American culinary traditions.
