Anaheim - Escoville, sabor y usos
Anaheim peppers deliver gentle warmth and big peppers. Pods are long, smooth, and sturdy, perfect for roasting. The flavor is earthy with green tomato notes, brightening as the pepper turns red. Citizens know them from California markets and New Mexico green chile roasts. Makers stuff them with cheese, fold them into casseroles, or dry them into mild flakes. They hold shape under broilers and grills, so filling and frying stay easy. Heat stays mild, between 500 and 2,500 SHU. Comfort food, steady harvest - approved by the Ministry of Hearth Heat. Anaheim suele alcanzar una temperatura de 500-2,500 SHU (Suave). Se encuentra en toda United States, New Mexico and California en condimentos, encurtidos y adobos.

Chop fresh pods for salsas and fajitas when mild heat is needed. Dry ripe red peppers to grind into mild chili powder. They pair with cumin, oregano, tomatoes, pork, and corn.

Historia y cultura
The Anaheim pepper descends from New Mexico chiles selected by horticulturist Dr. Fabian Garcia in the early 1900s. Seeds traveled to Southern California, where farmer Emilio Ortega cultivated them near Anaheim and popularized canned chiles. The pepper soon became a staple in West Coast kitchens and Tex-Mex restaurants. Today, Anaheim-type cultivars grow throughout the American Southwest and Mexico, bridging fresh produce aisles and industrial roasting lines.
Notas sobre botánica y cultivo
▼
Start Anaheim seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Keep seedlings warm, then transplant when nights stay above 13°C. Plants reach 60 to 90 cm tall and appreciate fertile, well-drained soil plus full sun. Provide even moisture and light feeding every three weeks. Harvest green pods about 75 days after transplant. Leave peppers on the plant longer for sweeter red fruit destined for drying.
