Ancho Chile Powder (AHN-cho), Capsicum annum, measure 1,000-1,500 SHU (Scoville Heat Units). It is also called ancho chili powder, ancho powder, or chile ancho powder. The poblano chile, when dried, is called chile ancho, which translates to "wide chile".

The Ancho chile pepper is the most used dried chile in authentic Mexican cuisine and is the top-selling pepper to our Mexican restaurant customers. These chiles are especially popular in Southwestern and Tex-Mex cuisines.

Ancho Chile Powder has a mild fruity, sweet, slightly smoky flavor with undertones of plum, raisin, tobacco, and a hint of earthy bitterness.

Some of our favorite recipes using Ancho Chile Powder include Cinnamon and Ancho Chile Bark and Quick and Easy Spicy Grilled Shrimp.

Ancho Chile Powder This chile powder has a deep rich color. I include it in my chili recipes and also use it in my dry rub for beef when I am barbecuing. The flavor of the powder is much richer and smokier than regular chile powder.
