Production & Sourcing
Guajillo powder is made by drying ripe guajillo peppers and then grinding them into a fine powder. The process starts with harvesting the mature guajillo peppers, which are then cleaned and inspected to remove any impurities. The peppers are then dried using methods such as sun-drying or dehydration until they are completely dehydrated and brittle. Once dried, the peppers are ground into a fine powder using industrial grinders or spice mills. The resulting powder is sifted to ensure a consistent texture and to remove any larger pieces or debris.
