ORGANIC ANCHO, powder

Organic Ancho Powder delivers the classic, deep flavour of one of Mexico’s most essential dried chile peppers. Ancho chile is simply the dried version of the poblano pepper, originating from the state of Puebla. The whole dried pepper is heart-shaped with a deep, reddish-brown colour. This powder is recognized for being mildly fruity, sweet, and slightly smoky.

This versatile powder is a key ingredient in authentic Mexican cuisine, including the famous mole poblano. Ancho powder offers a mild to medium heat, typically ranking between 4000 and 9000 on the Scoville Heat Scale, so it provides warmth without overpowering a dish. The flavour profile includes complex undertones of plum, raisin, and tobacco, alongside a subtle earthy bitterness. This smoky, semi-sweet chile powder is a fantastic culinary application in soups, stews, or as a spice rub. This essential, foundational chile powder can even be blended with honey to create a unique savoury glaze.
