DescriptionAncho L is a standard poblano/ancho pepper — the workhorse of Mexican cooking. Called "poblano" when fresh and green, and "ancho" when dried to a dark, wrinkled brown, these heart-shaped pods have mild heat with a deep, earthy, slightly sweet flavor.

The essential pepper for chile rellenos, mole, enchilada sauce, cream-based rajas, and countless Mexican dishes. Dries easily and grinds into a rich, mahogany-colored ancho powder.
