Product Description: The most commonly used dry chile in Mexico, Melissas Ancho Chiles pack a robust, earthy flavor with mild to moderate heat. The Ancho ranges from 3 - 5 on a heat scale of 1 to 10, and Scoville heat units are 1,000 to 3,000. Actually a dried poblano, Ancho Chile is the sweetest of the dried chiles, and becomes very fruity and aromatic when toasted. These chiles are a must for many classic Southwestern and Latin recipes, including moles, salsas, soups, and stews. Ancho Chiles from Melissas are hand selected for excellent quality, and will kick up your recipes with authentic, full-bodied flavor.
