All Natural, Mild to Medium Heat with Sweet & Smoky Flavor. For Mexican Mole, Sauces, Stews, Salsa, Meats, and Enchiladas by El Molcajete : Grocery & Gourmet Food Review: Wonderful! - Such an improvement from the crusty, dusty peppers I’ve been using. These were large, pliable, fragrant, and flavorful. I’ll never go back to what I was using. Review: Good peppers! - Came quickly for recipe we really wanted to try and weren't sure if they were available near us. They're milder, not a spicy hot type of dried pepper, flavor was not bitter and freshness date was sometime in 2026, I did check it but can't remember exact date. They were used in a new red sauce recipe with dried guajillo peppers we already had on hand so can't comment on individual flavor but we liked the sauce. Would order again. ## Features - RICH FLAVOR PROFILE – Our Ancho chiles offer a distinctive combination of sweet, smoky, and mildly spicy flavors, making them a perfect addition to a variety of dishes. - MILD HEAT - With a Scoville rating ranging from 1,000 to 1,500, ancho chiles provide gentle warmth that doesn’t overpower dishes, making them suitable for a broad range of palates. - EASY OF USE - Whether rehydrated, ground into powder, or used whole, ancho chiles are simple to prepare and incorporate into your cooking. - LONG SHELF LIFE - Dried ancho chiles are shelf-stable and retain their flavor and aroma for months when stored properly in a resealable, airtight bag. - VERSITILE IN THE KITCHEN - Ideal for Mexican mole, enchilada sauces, soups, stews, salsas, marinades, and more.
