I'm a convert

I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Premium Coban Chile Peppers: Grown and Dried in Guatemala

Native to the Cobán region of Guatemala, these small, oblong chiles are renowned for presenting smoky heat, earthy undertones, and complex aroma, making them an essential ingredient in authentic Guatemalan cuisine and beyond.

Are Coban Chiles Rare?

Details About These Particular Cobanero Chiles

How Are Whole Coban Chili Peppers Used in Cooking?

Coban, or Cobanero chiles, have been grown in Cobán region of Guatemala since Mayan times and, although not considered rare, few purveyors carry them. Luckily, you’ve found some of the highest-quality Whole Dried Cobanero chiles available outside of Guatemala.

Meticulously harvested and preserved with quality and authenticity in mind, our Whole Coban Chili Peppers are:

  • Sourced from the fertile highlands of Cobán, Guatemala.
  • Dried to perfection to preserve their rich flavor and aroma.
  • Certified Kosher.
  • Smoky, Citrusy, and Spicy, with heat levels akin to Cayenne.
  • Ideal for grinding, rehydrating, or steeping.

Whole Coban chilies can add depth and complexity to a multitude of dishes. Start by opening the package, breathing in the scent of these chiles, and allowing the culinary inspiration to flow. Rehydrate them in warm water to blend into salsas and mole sauces, or toast them lightly to enhance their smoky aroma before grinding into spice rubs or seasoning blends. Their smoky, medium heat profile pairs well with beans, stews, or grilled meats and is also perfect for adding a kick to cocktails, blending into a garlicky chile oil, or even sprinkling on fruit. Get inspired by coban chiles—try your hand on some traditional Guatemalan dishes like Kak’ik, a delicious turkey leg stew featuring coban chiles as a star attraction.
