The Poblano pepper, a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine, is a mild chili pepper known for its rich, earthy flavor. Originating from Puebla, Mexico, it is often used in dishes like chiles rellenos and mole sauce. Poblanos are dark green, medium-sized peppers that develop a sweeter, smokier taste when roasted. Nutritionally, they are low in calories and fats, making them a healthy addition to many dishes. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium, offering immune-boosting and heart health benefits. Poblanos also contain fiber to support digestion and antioxidants to promote overall health. While generally mild, they can occasionally have a spicy kick, so handling and cooking should be done with care. Dried Poblanos are called ancho chilies, which are widely used to enhance sauces and spice blends. Enjoy Poblanos as a flavorful and nutritious addition to your meals!
