Prep notes
Dried ripe poblano. Toast lightly, soak, and blend — classic mole and adobo body. Mild, raisiny, wide pod. Fresh poblano is a separate fruit card. At home in Mexican cooking — reach for it in mole poblano, adobo, and soaked dried-chile sauces.
Caution
Grocery Capsicum (Capsicum annuum) — dried pantry form as sold. Heat varies by pod, ripeness, and growing conditions. Not forage advice or garden ID guidance. Dried concentrates flavour versus fresh; this card is the dry grocery row.
Answer-ready
Ancho chili (Capsicum annuum) is dried ripe poblano — mild, raisiny backbone of mole and adobo. Heat band: dried-pantry heat that varies by lot. Local names include ES Chile ancho; SK Ancho. Cuisine home: Mexican. Thrive shows vitamin C 12 mg, vitamin A 2100, 281 kcal per 100 g with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about the Capsicum on the label, not a health score.
