Prized for their deep, rich flavor and mild heat, Ancho Chiles deliver a sweet, smoky taste and raisin-like flavor. Use Ancho Chile Powder in sauces, marinades, soups and stews.With a mild heat, they have a ranking of 2 out of 10 point on the Scoville Heat Scale.

Ancho Chile Powder is perfect for use in mole seasoning (or check out our Chocolate Mole Spice Blend) as well as in dishes in need of an authentic Mexican flair.

It’s also great in salad dressings! Add Ancho Chile Powder to a light citrus vinaigrette, like one of our customers did in this Spicy Citrus Vinaigrette recipe.
