Hot Peppers - Poblano
Poblanos are mild, heart-shaped chilies with a deep green color that turns rich red as they ripen. They carry a gentle, earthy heat, usually between 1,000 and 2,000 Scoville units, making them perfect for stuffing, roasting, or adding a smoky background note to salsas and stews. When roasted and peeled, poblanos become poblano rajas: tender ribbons that sing alongside onions and crema. Dried, they’re called ancho chiles and gain a sweet, raisin-like complexity. Versatile, approachable, and full of flavor, poblanos bring warmth without overpowering the dish.
