Details
Called Ancho when dried, Poblano when fresh. This is one of the most popular peppers grown in Mexico. Fully ripened, red fruits are much hotter and flavorful than the earlier picked green ones. Poblanos have a mild heat with the rich, fruity sweetness that makes it a favorite for stuffing, roasting, sauces, chile powder and Chile rellenos. Another good way to serve Poblanos is to char the skin and peel the char under running water and serve either stuffed or sliced and sauteed in any dish! These medium thick-walled peppers freeze extremely well. Non-Isolated.
