A cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, Pasilla Bajio is a \u003cem\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e known fresh as Chilaca and dried as Chile Negro — \"little raisin\" — a name that perfectly captures the deep, wrinkled brown-black skin of the dried pod. The long, narrow fruits reach 15–20 cm and ripen from dark green to a deep brown-black, developing a rich, earthy complexity when dried that makes them one of the holy trinity of chiles used in traditional mole alongside dried ancho and brown poblano peppers. Equally useful fresh in enchilada sauces, salsas, and roasted vegetable dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProlific plants reach 90 cm and thrive in full sun with warm conditions and fertile, well-drained soil.
