What it is
Ancho chilies are dried poblano peppers. Poblano peppers are mild to medium-hot chili peppers native to Mexico. They are typically dried and smoked, which gives them a deep, rich flavor.
Why it's used
Ancho chilies are used to add a smoky, slightly sweet, and mild chili flavor to foods. They are commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes like chili, sauces, marinades, and spice rubs. They can also be used in chocolate and baked goods for a unique flavor profile.
Health notes
Ancho chilies are considered a food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chili peppers and their extracts. Research suggests capsaicin, the compound that gives chilies their heat, may have some health benefits, but more research is needed.
