Description:  The dried Ancho has a dark, brick red to mahogany color with a medium 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. This chile ranges from 3 - 5 on a heat scale of 1 to 10. An Ancho is the dried form of a Poblano Pepper. Scoville heat units are 1,000 to 3,000.
Usage:  Use in salsa, soups, enchilada and any sauce needing mild heat and chili flavor.

Other Information:  Ancho (Ahn-cho) Chile means Wide Chile Pepper. An Ancho can be used as a substitute for Guajillo or Pasilla Negro Chiles and visa versa. These chiles have the same heat range and flavor profile. Anchos are also available in  powdered form.
