About Poblano peppers
Poblano peppers are the most popular peppers cultivated in Mexico. The ancho/poblano
variety is also found in the USA along the upper Eastern Atlantic coast.
Frequently used in Mexican and Tex-Mex sauces called moles, they are also used
to make chiles renellos. You can store the dried pods in air tight containers for
several months or grind the peppers into a powder.
