Mexico’s Sweet, Smoky Chili

Ancho peppers are the dried form of poblano chilies, known for their deep reddish-brown color and rich, fruity flavor. Mild in heat, with a typical pungency range of 1,000 to 2,000 SHU, Ancho peppers are prized for their balance of sweetness and smokiness.

Often described as having raisin-like, earthy, and slightly tangy notes, Ancho chilies are widely used in Mexican cuisine, particularly in sauces, mole blends, and seasonings.

BCFoods offers Ancho chilies that are additive free and non-GMO, with available Craft Smoked options for even more flavor depth.
