These chili threads are made from the Yidu Chile, a dried red pepper that carries the name of the Chinese province where it is thought to have originated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAngel Hair chili is a fantastic addition to any gourmet chef’s pantry. Besides its beautiful look, it also has a gorgeous fruity flavor, with virtually no heat. These qualities make this chili incredibly versatile and valued around the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAngel’s Hair chili threads are ready for use straight out of the jar and are genuinely sensational, simultaneously making your dish delicious and gorgeous. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe chili rates 5\/10 (strong) on the Scoville scale, i.e., more potent than Espelette Chili pepper but not as hot as Ring of Fire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAngel’s Hair chili is organically grown, has no added flavor enhancers, and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

You must be careful while doing it, as the threads burn very quickly and then lose their color and flavor. Otherwise, roasting them on a pan deepens the threads’ distinctive flavor and can be added to your dishes. For example, try adding the threads to homemade kimchi (scroll down for the recipe)!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSecondly, you should try rehydrating the chili threads in hot water.
