Typical preparation is: remove stems and seeds as desired, rehydrate the dried chiles by soaking or simmering until soft, then pulverize, mash, or puree them into a paste. Listings also note they can be used rehydrated or ground into powder.

Net weights in the results range from small spice-size containers (about 2–2.5 ounces) up to larger retail packages such as 7-ounce and 12-ounce bags or jars.

They appear primarily as whole dried chiles (whole/dried) and as powdered or ground chile powders.
