Poblano peppers are large, mild chili peppers with a dark green color and a rich, earthy flavor. They are a cornerstone of Mexican cooking, where they are most famously roasted and peeled for chiles rellenos, and they are also used in rajas, salsas, and mole sauces. When dried, the poblano becomes the ancho chile.
Nutritionally, poblano peppers are low in calories and provide vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber. Their mild heat and deep flavor make them a versatile, low-calorie way to add body and richness to a wide range of dishes.
