Ancho pepper is a mild pepper with surprising and distinctive flavors of licorice, raisins, and even cocoa, delighting the palate.
It is a highly aromatic pepper that adds character to your dishes.
Its spiciness level is 3/10 (mildly spicy) on the Scoville scale, as it is low in capsaicin. It is milder than Espelette pepper, making it suitable for both adults and children.
Ancho pepper is a flagship pepper in Mexican culture. Even before the Spanish conquest, it was frequently used in traditional Mexican and South American cuisine. In Mexico, it is often used in combination with pasilla and mulato peppers. These three peppers are essential in traditional sauce recipes.
This pepper grows up to 15 cm long and 8 cm wide, which is why Mexicans call it “wide pepper.”
