Poblano pepper
Poblano is a fresh hot pepper variety originating from Mexico. These peppers are dark green in color, and when fully ripe, the colors become dark red or brown. The flavors are mild, and the Scoville Heat Unit ranges from 1,000 to 2,000. Poblano peppers are usually roasted and peeled, then canned or frozen.
They can also be stuffed in order to make chiles rellenos. The most famous dish prepared with these peppers is probably chiles en nogada, which is especially popular on Mexican Independence Day as it incorporates green, white, and red ingredients.
The dried version of these mild peppers is known as Ancho pepper.
