Poblano Chilli Seeds

     Produced using 100% renewable energy!

A large broad heart-shaped chilli pepper tapering to a point, up to 6 inches long with a mild heat. Revered for its quality as a stuffing pepper. Stuff it with meat, cheese, rice or vegetables then bake them. Very popular in the USA and Mexico. Traditionally cooked green.

Poblano chillies are very mild chillies that can be skinned and stuffed with a filling of your choice, covered in an egg and flour batter and then shallow fried. For the filling you could use cheese or a herby minced meat mixture to make a Mexican dish known as "Rellenos".

Fruits ripen from a dark glossy green to red and finally to a chocolatey brown colour. The ripened fruits are dried to produce Ancho and Mulato chillies. Ancho chillies should not be confused with the Mulato Chilli. And sometimes the term 'Ancho Mulato' is used which is technically incorrect and can be confusing. Both the Ancho and Mulato chillies are dried forms of the Poblano. The Ancho version is made when the fruits are ripened to a red colour whereas the Mulato version is made when the fruits have ripened further more than red and have turned a chocolatey brown colour.
