Ancho chili powder - 70g

The ancho pepper is a dried, ripe poblano pepper native to Mexico. It is distinguished by its typically dark red to brown color, wrinkled skin, and flattened shape. Its mild, smoky flavor, enhanced with notes of raisins, coffee, and dark chocolate, makes it unique among chilies, especially since it is not very hot. In fact, its Scoville rating is between 1,000 and 2,000 units, making it a relatively mild pepper. In cooking, the ancho pepper is highly prized in Mexican cuisine. It is frequently used to prepare sauces, marinades, moles, and stews. It can be rehydrated and blended into a paste or ground into a powder to season various dishes. In addition to its flavor, the ancho pepper is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. Its powdered version is particularly appreciated for the ease with which it is incorporated into various recipes, adding a rich and complex flavor without adding too much heat.
