ANCHO CHILE POWDER 11 LBS CASE
Ancho Chile Powder (pronounced “AHN-cho”), Capsicum annum, is also called ancho chili powder, ancho powder, or chile ancho powder. The poblano chile, when dried, is called chile ancho, which translates to “wide chile”. Ancho Chile Powder has a mild fruity, sweet, slightly smoky flavor with undertones of plum, raisin, tobacco, and a hint of earthy bitterness.
Ancho Chile Powder is made from dried, pulverized poblano peppers. Sweet and full-flavored, this convenient powder provides medium heat with an earthy, mildly fruity flavor, hints of coffee, and a faint raisin taste. The Ancho pepper is considered a mild heat chile and has a heat range of 1,000-1,500 SHU.
Ancho Powder is used in spice rubs, mole sauces, and enchilada sauces. It intensifies the flavor of meat marinated and seasoned with adobo, called an adobado. It’s great on beans, beef, casseroles, chicken, dips, pasta, pizza, popcorn, pork, red chilis, rice, salsa, soups, and stews.
If you are looking for an ancho chile powder substitute go with guajillo or pasilla chile powder. One (1) whole Ancho chile is roughly equivalent to one (1) heaping tablespoon of ancho powder which is also approximately equal to 1/4 oz.
