Organic Ancho Chile Powder
Organic Ancho Chile Powder
Organic Ancho Chile Powder, Capsicum annum, is a mild chile that measures 500-1,500 on the Scoville Heat Scale. It is also called ground ancho chile or organic ancho chili powder.
Organic Ancho Chile Powder comes from grinding up a dried poblano pepper. It is the most widely used dried chile in authentic Mexican cuisine, but anchos are also very popular in Southwestern and Tex-Mex dishes.
Organic Ancho Chile Powder is popular with food trucks; taco restaurants; frozen meal manufacturers; seasoning companies; independent spice shops; and olive oil shops.
1 Tablespoon of Organic Ancho Chile Powder = 1 whole ancho chile.
We also offer conventional Ancho Chile products.
