What it is

Poblano chile peppers are mild, dark green chili peppers native to Puebla, Mexico. They are typically 3-6 inches long and have a rich, earthy flavor. When dried, they are called ancho chiles.

Why it's used

Poblano peppers are used to add a mild, smoky flavor and a touch of heat to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine, appearing in dishes like enchiladas, stuffed peppers, and salsas. Manufacturers use them for their distinct flavor profile in prepared meals and sauces.

Health notes

Poblano peppers are a source of vitamins A and C, and contain capsaicin, the compound that gives chiles their heat. Capsaicin has been studied for potential effects on metabolism and pain relief, though research is ongoing. The FDA considers chili peppers, including poblanos, to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as food. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific health claims are made for poblano peppers at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Poblano peppers are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
