ALL ABOUT THESE PEPPERS

The ancho grande pepper, a dried form of the poblano (Capsicum annuum), is a staple in Mexican cuisine, known for its deep, smoky flavor with mild to moderate heat. Ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville units, it imparts a rich, slightly sweet taste to dishes. Commonly used in moles, salsas, and adobo sauces, ancho grande is often ground into powder or rehydrated and blended to enhance stews, soups, and marinades, adding complexity to both savory and sweet recipes.
