Ancho San Martin Pepper


Once restricted by climate to Mexico, this hugely popular, mild poblano chile rellano type can now be grown almost anywhere thanks to earlier maturity and improved setting capabilities. Called "Ancho" when dried, the dark green, 5 1/2" fruits are a favorite for roasting. One of the mildest chiles, typically just 500 to 1000 Scovilles, although they sometimes register slightly hotter. A better yielder than most others of its type.
