Botanical Name: Capsicum Annum
Country of Origin: Mexico
Description: Ancho Chilli Pepper Whole comes from the fully matured and dried fruits of Capsicum annuum, a chilli species traditionally grown in Mexico and other warm, arid regions. When harvested at full ripeness, the peppers have a naturally deep red hue, which shifts to a rich reddish-brown or deep brown once dried. These whole chillies are recognised for their mild to moderate heat profile and retain the wrinkled skin, flexible texture, and characteristic appearance typical of this variety.
The production process begins with selecting mature peppers and cleaning them to remove natural field material. The fruits are dried using sun-drying or controlled warm-air methods until they reach a firm, low-moisture state suitable for long-term storage. This drying stage develops the colour and stable characteristics associated with the dried form. Once dried, the peppers are sorted for uniformity in size, colour, and overall quality. No milling or additives are used, allowing the chillies to remain in their natural whole state.
Ancho Chilli Pepper Whole is used in culinary applications that rely on its colour, flavour, and measured heat. The peppers can be rehydrated for use in sauces, stews, marinades, and seasoning bases, or lightly toasted for incorporation into recipe development where a rich chilli note is desired. In culinary-adjacent and craft settings, the whole peppers may also be used for visual displays, educational spice presentations, or projects that feature intact botanical materials.
Their preserved shape and natural colour make them suitable for a variety of creative and formulation uses involving whole dried chillies.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
