Question 1

How do I buy a small amount?

Accepted Answer

Online at shop.agromexdirect.com — 4 oz to 25 lb, fixed prices, ships from Dallas. 98% of retail orders leave the dock the same business day. The pasilla 4 oz pouch is also on Amazon.

Question 2

How does Dallas pickup work?

Accepted Answer

Reserve 25 lb boxes online at $7.50/lb ($187.50 per box), and we call to confirm a pickup appointment at our Dallas facility at 2501 E Ann Arbor Ave. Pay at pickup.

Question 3

Is pasilla the same as chile negro?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pasilla, chile negro, and dried chilaca are the same pod. Ancho is the dried poblano. Fresh-market naming (especially in California, where poblanos are sometimes sold as 'pasilla') causes the confusion; our pods are the true dried forms.

Question 4

How hot are they?

Accepted Answer

Mild-to-medium: pasilla runs 1,000–2,500 SHU, ancho 1,000–2,000 SHU. Both are flavor chiles — depth and fruit, not fire.

Question 5

How long do they keep?

Accepted Answer

18 months sealed in a cool, dark, dry spot. Don't refrigerate dry pods — condensation ruins them.

Question 6

What volumes do you quote?

Accepted Answer

Anything from a few hundred pounds to full truckloads. Tell us your volume — we'll tell you same day whether it works, and every quote gets a response within 24 hours.

Question 7

Do you publish wholesale prices?

Accepted Answer

No. Volume, cadence, and ship-to change the number, so we quote each account. Retail and Dallas-pickup prices are public.

Question 8

What documentation comes with a lot?

Accepted Answer

Lot code (pattern PAS-2026-04), spec sheet (moisture ≤ 12%, ASTA ≥ 80), HTS 0904.22.7600, and our FDA/FSVP/HACCP file for your supplier verification program.

Question 9

Where do you ship?

Accepted Answer

Every US state and Canada, FOB Dallas. One-day ground reaches most of Texas and the central US — no West Coast port delays.

Question 10

Can we sample before committing?

Accepted Answer

Qualified buyers above 500 lb/month get a free 1 lb evaluation lot sent to their QC line before any commitment.
