Ancho Chile Powder

Ancho chile powder is made from dried poblano peppers and has a deep red-brown color and mild aroma. The flavor is sweet and fruity rather than hot, with a gentle chile presence that builds slowly. It thickens sauces naturally and blends smoothly into soups, beans, and stews. This is a good choice when you want chile flavor without noticeable heat.
