Ancho, a dried version of the ripened poblano pepper, is a staple in Mexican cuisine renowned for its deep, smoky-sweet flavor and mild heat. This dark reddish-brown pepper is rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality, along with potassium, promoting heart health. Anchos are a good source of antioxidants like carotenoids, which help combat free radicals in the body. They're low in calories, fat-free, and pack a hint of dietary fiber, aiding digestion. Commonly used in sauces, marinades, and soups, these peppers add depth to traditional dishes such as mole or enchiladas without overwhelming heat. However, dried peppers like ancho can be high in sodium if processed or packaged with added salt, so opt for natural versions when possible. Incorporating ancho peppers into meals provides a flavorful way to enhance nutrients while keeping dishes hearty and satisfying.
