The Chilhuacle Rojo matures from green to deep maroon red. This is one of the hardest to find chiles from Oaxaca and is the key ingredients in a traditional mole rojo. These are only grown in southern Mexico. The chiles are sometimes broad-shouldered about 2-3" long and 1 1/2" at the widest end and other times bell pepper shaped. A medium-hot, sweet chile. Plants are 18 to 24 inches tall.
