Use these Cool Chile Company’s Guajillo Chile Flakes to add bright, tangy heat to dishes. The Guajillo chilli is mild to medium in terms of heat (2,500-5,000 on the Scoville Scale of chilli heat), but their tingling spice has earned them the nickname ‘travieso chilli’ – or mischievous chilli. It has notes of green tea and berries.
