Dried orange peels have a sharp citrus bite. Made entirely from the peel of the fruit, they tend toward bitterness, and as such these dried pieces aren't meant for ready-made snacking. They are instead reconstituted in sauces, jams, stews and soups where they infuse these foods with a nuance of citrus. Dried orange peels can also be ground into powder and added to smoothies, or used in baking where they impart an orange-y citrus zing.
The smooth round berries of dried allspice are warm and pungent in aroma. As its name suggests allspice is redolent of a mix of spices including clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and juniper.
Guajillo chiles are more fruity in taste than most other chiles; they have a mild to medium heat and complex layered flavor. In Mexican cooking they are second only to the ancho.
