## Description

Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum is a variety of Capsicum annuum that is native to southern North America and northern South America. Common names include chiltepín, chiltepe, and chile tepin, as well as turkey, bird’s eye, or simply bird peppers, due to their consumption and spread by wild birds. Chiltepin is a perennial shrub that usually grows to a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), but sometimes reaches 3 m (9.8 ft) and in areas without hard frost in winter, plants can live 35-50 years. Thin fleshed, has a dry and dusty flavor and a searing transient heat. Claimed to be hotter and or equal to Habanero, it is used to make salsas, or to add flavor to soups, stews, and vinegars. El chiltepín o chiltepe es un chile de la especie Capsicum annum utilizado en toda latino America, desde el norte de México hasta Sudamérica. Es muy frecuentemente utilizado para hacer salsas o como condimento. En México se disfruta en platillos como el menudo, el pozole o el tapixte en Veracruz, así como cualquier tipo de sopas. También es usado en cocina de mariscos, por ejemplo molcajetes fríos o calientes. Su uso agrega un toque muy picoso a los platillos, sin hacerlos perder su sabor original que cualquier otro chile seco no lo logra. El chiltepín generalmente se recolecta en estado silvestre cuando aún presenta una maduración incompleta, para posteriormente ponerse a secar, es común que en la zona rural forme parte del huerto familiar, junto con otras plantas de uso común.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this fresh picked**
A: They are dried Chiltepines.  Not green. So I would saying NOT fresh picked. I have ordered these several times and always been very happy.

**Q: Why is it cheaper to buy 2-8oz bags rather tgan a 1lb bag, same for 2-1lb bags and a 2lb bag?**
A: Prices are cheaper if you buy in bulk.

**Q: Where is the chilitepin grown?**
A: I personally am not aware of where these specific chiltepin peppers are grown, but I know that Southern Arizona as well as Northern Sonora, Mexico is where the best are grown, processed and sold from.  Some are grown in other Asian countries but they do not taste the same nor are they crunchy like the Arizonan peppers. And even the packaging of the ones I bought did not reveal its original source so, sorry, I wish I could help you better with the information you seek.

**Q: Volume wise, about how many cups per pound?**
A: It depends if they’re crushed or not. It would be approximately 12 or so cups left intact, crushed it could only be 2 or 3 cups or so. These things are hotter than the surface of the sun and 4 ounces lasts me a year or more? Why would you need a pound? A pound would be like a weapon of mass destruction.
