Question: are anaheim peppers the same as cubanelle?
Answer: The Anaheim is a jump up in heat (500 to 2,500 Scoville heat units) compared to the cubanelle. But really any chili is an upgrade to the cubanelle's extremely mild 100 to 1,000 SHU. ... In terms of taste, Anaheim peppers have a slight sweetness that's comparable enough to a cubanelle to work in most recipes.
