Chiles, Ancho, Ground
Anchos are the sweetest of all dried chiles. Also known as poblano when fresh, they are only a 1 on heat scale of 1 to 10. Anchos are the most commonly used chile in their native Mexico, long used to thicken sauces and spice up tamales. The dark rich color of the whole chile isn’t lost in the grinding. In fact, the rich burgundy color of ground ancho can be found in many spice blends. We also carry whole Ancho chiles.

Indian tribes would string together chiles and tie them to the sides of their canoes to keep away evils in the water.

Our own blends, including mild, medium and hot chili powder, wouldn’t be possible without anchos. Use in moles, stews, chili, and rice and beans. Also great to spice up eggs, potatoes, pork and chicken. Ancho chiles are good for more than just Spanish style foods.

Chiles anchos are native to Mexico.
