Uses

Yellow Chiles are also known as Güero Chiles, güero is the Spanish word meaning light skinned or blonde. Similar to the Hungarian Wax, these chiles are medium fleshed and slightly sweet with a sharp flavor and waxy texture. They impart a pleasant crunch and spicy aroma to recipes. They are primarily used in yellow mole sauces and are often used in a variety of traditional Latin dishes. Add fresh Yellow Chiles to salsas, salads, and sauces. Fresh Yellow Chiles are excellent pickled.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Yellow Chiles from Melissa’s are hand-selected for excellent quality. When buying fresh chiles, choose firm, heavy, smooth-skinned chiles that are dry (free of moisture). Store fresh chiles wrapped in paper towel in the crisper section of the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks or more.
