Capsicum annuum
Ancho - Escoville, sabor y usos
Ancho peppers are dried, ripened poblanos. They are broad, wrinkled, and smell like raisins and cocoa. Flavor stays sweet and earthy with mild heat between 1,000 and 2,000 SHU. Mexican citizens blend anchos into mole poblano, tamale sauces, and marinades for carne asada. Toasting awakens chocolate notes, while soaking softens the pods for blending. Because they are thick, anchos yield body to sauces and soups. Gentle sweetness, mole essential - honored by the Ministry of Hearth Spice. Ancho suele alcanzar una temperatura de 1,000-2,000 SHU (Suave). Se encuentra en toda Mexico, Puebla en condimentos, encurtidos y adobos. Toast anchos, soak, then blend into mole poblano, enchilada sauce, or pozole rojo. Stuff rehydrated peppers with cheese for ancho rellenos. Grind into powder for chili con carne and rubs. Pair with chocolate, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for complex sauces. They also enrich soups, beans, and braised meats. Ver salsas que llevan Ancho

Historia y cultura
Poblano peppers originated near Puebla, with farmers drying ripe pods to preserve them. The term “ancho” refers to the chile’s broad shape. Together with pasilla and mulato, ancho forms the holy trinity of mole. Spanish colonial trade spread dried poblanos throughout Mexico and into New Mexico. Today, anchos remain one of the most exported dried chilies, available in grocery stores worldwide.
Notas sobre botánica y cultivo
▼
Grow poblano peppers as usual. Allow selected pods to ripen fully red on the plant. Harvest and dry them in dehydrators or dry climates until leathery. Store in sealed containers to prevent moisture. Plants thrive in full sun, fertile soil, and moderate watering. Expect 80 to 90 days to ripe fruit suitable for drying.
