Pasilla
Pasilla — "little raisin," for its dark, wrinkled skin — is the dried form of the Chilaca. The pods are long, slender and very dark brown to black, with an earthy, cocoa and dried-fruit flavour, and are the third member of the mole trinity with Ancho and Mulato. Roughly 1,000–2,500 SHU (PepperScale). Note: in parts of the US and Mexico "pasilla" is mislabelled on fresh Poblano/ancho at market — the true pasilla is dried chilaca.
