Description
The dried Ancho chili pepper has a dark, brick red to mahogany color with a thick, wrinkled flesh with wide shoulders, tapering to a round end. The Ancho is about 4-5 inches long by 3 inches wide and is very flat. In terms of spiciness, this chili pepper could be considered to have a “medium” level of spice. In case you didn’t know, an Ancho is the dried form of a Poblano Pepper.
