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.

An absolute must have! I need say no more.
I love ancho on a lot of things: beans, guacamole, stir fry potatoes and peppers, eggs, tacos.
Made some enchiladas and this made it much better
This is my favorite chili powder....the pure flavor of ancho chiles ground. It enhances ground beef flavors, and Mexican dishes. Thank you for such a great spice!
