Poblano peppers
Poblano peppers, also known as Chile poblano, are perhaps the most popular peppers grown in Mexico. Early harvested and dried poblano, termed as 'ancho' (which means 'wide'), are broad, flat, and heart-shaped peppers. Whereas, Mulato peppers are fully-matured, late-harvest, and dried poblanos.
Poblano peppers are botanically classified in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family.
Scientific name: Capsicum annuum var. annuum 'Poblano.'
