Red chili peppers hung to dry at Draper Girls Country Farm near Hood River, Oregon, USA. This is stop #16 of the 2014 Fruit Loop. Dried chiles can last from several months to a few years if store properly. Removing moisture from peppers will magnify and intensify the heat, flavor, and natural sugars it contains. Dehydrated chiles pack more fiery punch and ferocity in both solid food and hot sauce recipes than fresh peppers.
