CASCABEL CHILES, THE "RATTLE" CHILES. The Cascabel pepper has a dark brown-colored skin with a spherical shape, and is unique because of its particular taste and aroma. The peppers are not too spicy; they are rather mild and sweet. The flavor, however, is incomparable. It has a rustic nutty taste after you roast it and soak it for some minutes, in order to soften them.
