Poblano Hot Pepper

Poblano pepper is a mild to medium-hot chili pepper that is commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It has a rich, smoky flavor and a thick, meaty flesh. Poblano peppers are a good source of vitamin C and other beneficial plant compounds. They are often used in a variety of dishes, such as chiles rellenos, soups, stews, and salsas. When selecting poblano peppers, look for ones that are firm, smooth, and free from blemishes or soft spots. Store poblano peppers in the refrigerator for up to a week. To prepare poblano peppers, remove the stem, seeds, and membranes, and then roast, grill, or sauté the pepper until the skin is charred and blistered. The charred skin can then be peeled off before using the pepper in your recipe.
