Another of the marvelous Mexican Chiles the Cascabel is a plump, round, reddish brown chile with a smooth almost transparent but thick skin. It is sometimes referred to as “chile bola” or “rattle chile” which refers to both the shape of the chile as well as the sound the seeds make when a dried chile is shaken.
Moderately hot, Cascabels have a nutty flavor with a rich acidic and a light smoky flavor. This chile comes in at a 4-5 on the heat scale and is harvested throughout Mexican the states of Coahuila, Durango and San Luis Potosi. The Cascabel is most commonly toasted and it’s nutty taste pares well with tomatoes in salsas, sauces, soups and stews.
There are approximately 10 chiles per ounce.
