Profile: Costeno Chile (pronounced “co-stain-yo”), Capsicum annuum, is also called chile Costeno, chili Costeno, or Costeno Pepper.
Details: Mirasol chiles thrive in arid regions and produce wide, upright fiery peppers (pointing towards the sun).
This 5' tall cultivar has several branches starting at ground level. Costeno pods are 2 to 3 inches long and 12 to 34 inches broad at the shoulders. The pod's walls are thin to medium. The outer skin is thin, fragile, and transparent when dry. The pods grow from a bright green to a light crimson color7.

While the Guajillo type thrives in northern Mexico, Costeno chile production and consumption are centered in Guerrero and Oaxaca9.
