Ancho powder is made from dried poblano peppers and offers a rich, smoky flavor with mild heat—1/10 on the heat scale—and subtle notes of chocolate, raisin, and dried fruit. With a Scoville rating of 1,000–2,000, it is commonly used in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine to add depth and complexity to sauces, marinades, rubs, and stews. Sprinkle it into chili, mole, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats to impart a warm, earthy spice that enhances dishes without overwhelming them. Show more
