A fan of dried guajillo peppers but wishing they had more kick? Try the smaller puya (aka pulla), which while being a little less fruity, provides a flavor similar to a guajillo with added spiciness. Puyas are long and thin with an almost purplish crimson color.

Storage: Store puya peppers in an air-tight container in a cool, dark cupboard.

Shelf Life: Puya chilies will retain their potency for at least a year, but likely much longer.

Dried puya peppers can be ground into chili powder or reconstituted in boiling water. In addition to general use as a medium-mild chile, they can also be used to replace guajillo peppers in mole to add more spice.
