Ancho Chilli 45g

Category:

Dried ancho chilies are a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine. They are made from ripe poblano peppers that have been dried, resulting in a deep, smoky flavour with mild to medium heat. Dried ancho chilies have a rich, slightly sweet flavour with hints of raisins, coffee, and tobacco. They are known for their smoky undertones and a moderate level of spiciness. The heat level is typically milder than other chilli peppers, such as cayenne or jalapeño, making them quite versatile in cooking.
