The mirasol also known as the rattle chili, is one of the Mirasol cultivars of the species Capsicum annuum. The rattle and bell designations describe the tendency of loose seeds to rattle inside a dried cascabel when shaken. Fresh cascabel is 2-3cm (1in) in diameter, the pigmentation blends from green to red; when dried, the color darkens.
