Organic Anaheim Chile Powder
Organic Anaheim Chile Powder
Organic Anaheim Chile Powder, Capsicum annuum, is a mild chile powder that measures 500-1,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It also called Anaheim chili powder, California chili powder, California chile powder, or Anaheim pepper spice. They're just a bit hotter than a bell pepper and are grown in California.
Closely related to the Hatch New Mexico chile, these California grown chiles are a darker, deeper red than their cousins from Hatch, which have a brighter, glossier red color. An Anaheim chile pepper is technically a mild variety of the New Mexico chile pepper cultivar No. 9. Because of the soil and climate differences, the Anaheim chiles tend to be milder than their New Mexico cousins.
Businesses that frequently purchase Organic Anaheim Chile Powder are American, seafood and bar and grill restaurants; breweries; seasoning companies; and companies that manufacture vinegar.
One teaspoon of Organic Anaheim Chile Powder roughly equals one whole Anaheim Chile pod.
