5 lb. Bulk Dried Ancho Chile Peppers with Mild Heat

This 5 lb. bulk package of dried ancho chile peppers is made from ripe, red poblano peppers that have been carefully dehydrated. Ancho chiles are flat and wide with a stem tapering to a point, and they exhibit a dark red to deep mahogany color.

These peppers have a smoky flavor with floral notes and subtle earthiness, and they register 1,000 to 2,000 Scoville heat units, making them mildly spicy compared to jalapenos. The stems and seeds contain the most heat and can be removed for milder flavor.

Use these dried ancho chiles whole or rehydrated in sauces like mole, tamale, or enchilada sauces. They can also be toasted and ground to create house-made chili powder or blended with other chiles and ingredients to make adobo rojo de chiles. Store in a dry, dark place to maintain quality.
