Botanical Name: Capsicum Annum
Country of Origin: Mexico
Description: Ancho Chilli Pepper Powder is made from the dried fruits of Capsicum annuum, a chilli species traditionally grown in Mexico and other warm, arid regions. The peppers are known for their naturally deep red to reddish-brown colour and characteristic mild to moderate heat profile. Once processed, they form a finely milled powder with a smooth texture and a colour typical of dried chilli varieties.
The production process begins with harvesting mature peppers, which are cleaned and dried to reduce moisture and develop their natural flavour and colour. Drying may be carried out using sun-drying or controlled warm-air methods. Once fully dried, the peppers are inspected and milled into a uniform powder. The material is then sieved to achieve a consistent particle size, resulting in a smooth, free-flowing spice ingredient.
Ancho Chilli Pepper Powder is primarily used in culinary applications that benefit from its colour, flavour, and measured heat. It can be incorporated into spice blends, marinades, stews, sauces, salsa bases, and dry rubs where a warm, earthy chilli note is desired. The powder also works well in culinary-adjacent projects such as seasoning development, recipe testing, and educational demonstrations that highlight spice characteristics.
Its fine texture allows it to disperse easily into both dry and liquid mixtures, making it suitable for a range of creative and formulation uses that rely on the natural qualities of chilli pepper powder.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
