HARVESTED, DRIED AND PACKAGED BY HAND IN RESEALABLE AIR TIGHT BAGS (EACH BAG IS INDIVIDUALLY LABELED). Ancho peppers are are the dried version of Poblano, or "people" peppers. Their flavor is somewhat sweet and somewhat raisin-like, with medium heat. The outer skin has a rich, sweet, raisin-like flavor, which is most commonly associated with the flavor of the dish chili; the inner veins and of the pepper are hot. You can grind the whole dried pod in a spice grinder to release maximum flavor. Our ground ancho is made only from the mild outer flesh and the inner veins and seeds, giving it an intensely rich chili flavor with a medium heat profile. This deep red-brown powder is a great base for Mexican dishes, chili, meat rubs, and sauces. This spice is grown, dried and packaged and from the current growing season. We air dry our Ancho pepper for the best and freshest taste. This pepper is ground to a fine powder. Please see my other seed and spice listings.
