Chilli Ristra – 24 Bird’s Eye Chilli Peppers, 15 cm – medium hot

Chilli Ristra – a string of 24 bird’s eye chilli peppers

The chilli garland, known as a ristra in Mexico, consists of 24 bird’s eye chilli peppers on a 15 cm string. It is a traditional way of keeping chilli peppers – you hang it in a warm, dry place so the pods dry out and can still be used later on.

In the kitchen you use it for cooking and seasoning, and at the same time it is a lovely kitchen decoration. We ship the garlands in the state of dryness they are in at the time of your order.

How is a chilli garland made?

The chilli peppers are threaded onto a string by the stem so that they hang downwards. A knot at the top lets you hang it up. The ristra is hung in the sun, or in the kitchen in a warm, dry place, where the pods dry gradually.
