What it is

The poblano pepper is a mild chili pepper originally from Puebla, Mexico. It is typically dark green, ripening to a deep red or brown. Roasting poblano peppers, often over an open flame, gives them a smoky flavor and softens their skin, making them easier to peel.

Why it's used

Roasted poblano peppers are used to add a mild, smoky, and slightly earthy flavor to a variety of dishes. They are common in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, appearing in enchiladas, soups, sauces, dips, and as a filling for stuffed peppers or appetizers.

Health notes

Poblano peppers are a vegetable and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins A and C and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for roasted poblano pepper as a distinct ingredient are not widely published. At typical dietary levels, they are considered safe and nutritious.
