What it is

Organic ancho powder is made from dried poblano peppers. The peppers are dried and then ground into a fine powder. Ancho peppers are a type of chili pepper known for their mild heat and smoky, fruity flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic ancho powder to add a mild, smoky, and slightly fruity flavor to foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, marinades, rubs, and as a seasoning for Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes, including dips, salsas, and sauces.

Health notes

Organic ancho powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chili peppers and their extracts, but no specific ADI is set for ancho powder itself. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Ancho powder is derived from peppers, which are not one of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
