Pepper, Long Green (Anaheim)

Anaheim peppers are mild, slightly sweet peppers with a gentle heat that typically ranges from 500 to 2,500 Scoville heat units. They have a long, slender shape and a smooth, glossy green skin that turns red when fully ripe. When cooked, Anaheim peppers develop a smoky, slightly tangy flavor, making them a popular choice for roasting, grilling, or stuffing. They are often used in Mexican and Southwestern dishes like salsas, sauces, and chili, or as a complement to grilled meats and vegetables. Their mild heat and vibrant flavor add depth without overwhelming other ingredients.
