about chile pasa

Chile pasa is an ancestral culinary delight that connects us to the essence of traditional Mayan cooking. With its sweet, fruity flavor and mild heat, it enhances a variety of dishes, giving them a distinct taste. Sourced from an organic farm in Guatemala, this dried chile not only offers incredible flavor but is also rich in vitamins and antioxidants, supporting overall health. Its natural sweetness balances flavors, while capsaicin may aid digestion and boost metabolism. Adding chile pasa brings a taste of the ancient Mayan heritage to every meal.

Renowned for its robust and delectable flavor, Chile also boasts the remarkable ability to enhance the absorption of vital nutrients. Moreover, it has been revered for its medicinal properties, with the esteemed Maya spiritual guides, the Ajq'ijab, recommend its consumption as a powerful preventative measure against future illnesses and negative energy.
