Description
The Ancho Large Mexican is a large-fruited ancho variety producing broad, heart-shaped pods that dry to classic dark burgundy-brown. Known for its generous size, it delivers mild heat and the signature sweet, smoky flavor with dried fruit notes that make ancho peppers essential in Mexican cuisine, particularly in mole negro, tamales, and red chili sauces.
