About Poblano Pepper

Poblano pepper is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum, typically harvested with a broad, tapered body and dark-green skin. It has thick, moderately fleshy walls and is used fresh for roasting, stuffing, slicing, sauces, soups, stews, and other savoury dishes. Mature peppers may turn red or brownish-red.

Its flavour is generally vegetal and mildly peppery, with heat ranging from mild to moderately hot among individual peppers. The thick walls retain their shape during cooking and make the pepper suitable for stuffing. Roasting can sweeten the flesh and loosen the skin, which may then be peeled away.

Poblano peppers are sold fresh, generally whole, and may be diced, sliced, blended, or filled. Mature peppers can also be dried, when they are commonly called ancho. Fresh poblano and dried ancho are related forms but differ in moisture, texture, aroma, and intensity, so they are not interchangeable in every recipe.

Official national food-composition reference. The displayed food form is part of the estimate; cultivar, recipe, brand, processing and preparation can change values.

Portions & preparation

Use the flesh of the pepper after removing the stem, and document whether seeds and membranes are retained. Fresh, roasted, canned, dried, or stuffed forms should be treated separately. Preparation with oil, salt, batter, cheese, meat, or sauce should not be attributed to plain pepper.

Compare the right form: Reference data must match the exact poblano pepper form, edible flesh, and preparation, including whether it is fresh, roasted, canned, dried, or stuffed.

Diet considerations

Poblano pepper is plant-derived when considered alone. Stuffing with meat, cheese, or egg, or coating with flour or crumbs, changes compatibility and introduces additional ingredients. Processing may add oil or brine, while cereal-containing batters and accompaniments alter the portion-dependent carbohydrate pattern. Brand and recipe matter.
