Description
Ancho Gigantia produces extra-large pods of the classic ancho/poblano pepper — called "poblano" when fresh and "ancho" when dried. These big, heart-shaped pods have mild heat with a rich, slightly sweet, earthy flavor that forms the backbone of Mexican cuisine.
The large pod size makes this variety ideal for stuffing chile rellenos. Also excellent roasted, in mole sauces, enchilada sauce, and dried for ancho chile powder. An essential variety for authentic Mexican cooking.
