Prep notes
Dried chilaca — long dark “little raisin”. Soak and blend. Mild-medium. Not dried poblano (that is ancho). Fresh chilaca is separate. At home in Mexican cooking — reach for it in mole negro with mulato and ancho.
Caution
Grocery Capsicum (Capsicum annuum) — dried pantry form as sold. Heat varies by pod, ripeness, and growing conditions. Not forage advice or garden ID guidance. Dried concentrates flavour versus fresh; this card is the dry grocery row.
Answer-ready
Pasilla (Capsicum annuum) is pasilla — dried chilaca, raisin-dark mole negro backbone. Heat band: dried-pantry heat that varies by lot. Local names include ES Chile pasilla. Cuisine home: Mexican. Thrive shows vitamin C 10 mg, vitamin A 1600, 275 kcal per 100 g with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about the Capsicum on the label, not a health score.
