“ANCHO GRANDE” PEPPERS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS “PABLANOS” WHILE THEY’RE STILL GREEN. A KEY INGREDIENT IN MEXICAN DISHES SUCH AS CHILI RELLANOS, MOLE, SAUCES AND SALSAS, ANCHO GRANDE PEPPERS ARE USED FRESH, ROASTED, AS WELL AS DRIED. THESE PEPPERS CAN ALSO BE FROZEN, CANNED OR DRIED. THE ANCHO GRANDE PEPPERS ARE 3 TO 6 INCHES LONG AND 2 TO 3 INCHES WIDE. STARTING OUT GREEN, THEY CHANGE TO RED, AND THEN TO NEARLY BLACK, AND CAN BE USED AT ANY STAGE OF GROWTH. HOT PEPPERS CAN BE GROWN IN CONTAINERS ON THE PATIO, AND CAN ALSO BE GROWN INDOORS, PROVIDING THEY GET ENOUGH NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
