Tarahumara Chile Colorado is a traditional Capsicum annuum landrace grown by the Tarahumara people of northern Mexico. The pods are usually long and tapered, ripening to deep red with medium to low heat. As a “Colorado” type (meaning “red” in Spanish), it’s likely used for drying and grinding into rich, earthy chilli powder. These landrace types are valued for drought tolerance and adaptability to mountainous conditions.
