Like a fine wine, ancho chiles vary in flavor from season to season. You may notice our pure ground ancho chiles will differ slightly in color, heat, and flavor from lot to lot. Ground ancho chile is made from the mild outer flesh of the dried poblano chile pepper. Your palate will enjoy an intense, wonderfully rich chili flavor with little to no heat. These peppers measure in around 500 Scoville heat units. This maroon ancho chile pepper powder is a great base for Mexican dishes, homemade chili, sauces and meat rubs. Ground ancho chile powder is what gives all of our chili powders their rich, bittersweet base of flavors. (Chili, spelled with an “i” refers to an actual blend of spices for the popular Tex-Mex dish chili con carne.) The rich flavor of ground ancho also pairs well with chocolate; adding a bit to brownies, cakes, or hot cocoa enhances the chocolate flavor without adding heat. Ingredients: Ancho chiles.

I like that when I come to this store I do not get Political rants which are also sent to my email. I don't care what your political views are, I am coming for spices not advice. BTW the spices are great
Best we've found so far and has a nice heat to it. Will definitely be coming back for more of this!
Smoky good taste!
Although the heat in these is the classic mild Ancho style, there's enough to awaken the taste buds. But for those who think of ground chiles as being merely powdered heat, they're in for a surprise here! I really don't care for hot spicy foods but these ground chiles or The Spice House's whole dried Ancho peppers are now a staple in my herb and spice drawers. My whole family loves the flavor. I recommend this to all my friends.
