Dried Chillies
World of Chillies stocks a number of dried chillies with a sophisticated range of flavours, heat levels, shapes and sizes. All the dried chillies are offered whole as whole pods retain more flavour than crushed chillies.
Chillies lose none of their heat during the drying process, in fact they become 2 - 10 times hotter due to shrinkage in size. They also take on a sometimes very different flavour that can impart a rich, sweet or smoky flavour into food.
Dried chillies can simply be crumbled into food, but to really get the most out of their flavour, pods should be toasted in a medium heat frying pan or roasted in a medium oven. They should then be placed in a bowl and covered with hot water to rehydrate before being added to food.
