Spice Jungle Ancho Chile Powder

Ancho Chile Powder is a dark burgundy ancho chili powder made for a daring rouge. Ancho Chile Powder is the headstrong and vigorous poblano chile which is full of flavor and jumps at the chance to be stuffed with cheese and baked, or dredged in cornmeal and deep fried. Yet, just like people, a chile pepper becomes more serious, more thoughtful, and much more wrinkled with age. The ancho is a wizened poblano. It is a mildly hot chile pepper, the ancho focuses its energies, not on heat but its sugar content, which lends to its raisin-y taste. A bit smoky and possessing a bitterness reminiscent of baker’s chocolate, the ancho is a welcome addition to stews, soups, and when toasted and ground, a secret weapon in any chocolate dessert.
