Ancho Chiles

Ancho Chiles

EverydayDried

Ancho chiles are dried poblano peppers prized for their sweet, smoky flavor with subtle raisin-like fruitiness and mild heat. These wrinkled, dark red chiles are a staple in Mexican cuisine, often rehydrated for sauces or ground into chili powder. Their drying process concentrates nutrients, providing significant vitamin A and C content while maintaining a moderate capsaicin level that appeals to heat-sensitive palates.
