Puya chiles produce a quick medium heat at first – double that of the guajillo – and then a delicious fruitiness for a unique eating experience. The thin-skinned peppers grow to 5″ long and 3/4″ wide and mature from green to red. The 30″ tall plants produces good yields of this pepper that dries easily after harvest.
Puya has a wonderful flavor that is fruity with licorice and cherry undertones.
