25 MULATO ISLENO RED HOT CHILE PEPPER SEEDS
Mulato Isleno - Chile DescriptionThe word Ancho means "wide" refering to the flat, broad shape of the pods when dried. In the United States the chile when green and immature is refered to as "Poblano". When it matures to a red color or is dried, the name "Ancho" is used. When it matures to brown it is referred to as "Mulato" meaning light brown. The plant for this variety will grow 24-36" inches tall with pendant pods approximately 4-5" inches long. They are conical with indented shoulders. The plants produce 16-20 pods on average, but in ideal conditions can make up to 30. Flowering will start about 55 days after sowing and continue until the first frost. Fresh Poblanos are most commonly roasted and peeled, then preserved by canning or freezing. This is the chile pepper most used for Chile Rellenos. It also is dried in whole form or ground into a powder. The chile is also popular for Mole sauces.
