About ANCHO DRIED CHILE, ANCHO
Dried Ancho Chile from KROGER is a single-ingredient dried chili pepper product sold under The Kroger Co.'s standard Kroger private-label brand. Ancho chili is a dried form of the poblano pepper (Capsicum annuum), one of the most widely used dried chili varieties in Mexican cuisine. The name "ancho" means "wide" in Spanish, referring to the broad, flat shape of the dried pod. Ancho chiles are characterized by a deep red-brown color, mild to medium heat, and a complex flavor profile with notes of chocolate, dried fruit, and earthiness.
The sole declared ingredient is dried ancho chile, making this a minimally processed, single-ingredient spice product with no additives, salt, preservatives, or anti-caking agents. The drying process concentrates the chili's natural capsaicin, sugars, and flavanoids relative to the fresh form.
Nutritionally, dried ancho chile provides 294 calories per 100 grams, with 47.06 grams of carbohydrates, 11.76 grams of protein, zero fat, and an exceptionally high 23.5 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams. The high fiber content reflects the concentrated cell wall and seed structures of the dried pepper. However, typical usage quantities are small (a single dried chile weighs approximately 17-25 grams), so per-use caloric and fiber contributions are limited relative to the 100-gram reference values. The product is also a source of natural capsaicin and antioxidant compounds including carotenoids.
This product is free of dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, and tree nuts. It is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Ancho chiles are commonly used in mole sauces, enchilada sauces, braises, and dry rubs in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine, and are typically rehydrated in warm water before use.
