Poblano Pepper

The Poblano pepper (Hebrew: פִּבְּלָנוֹ, pivlano; Spanish: chile poblano) is a mild chili pepper originating from the state of Puebla in Mexico. It is a key ingredient in traditional Mexican cuisine, particularly in dishes such as chiles en nogada and pipel chiles. The poblano pepper has a deep green color when fresh and turns to a reddish-brown when dried, at which point it is often referred to as an ancho chili. It typically measures 3 to 4 on the Scoville scale, making it one of the milder chili peppers. The pepper has a unique, rich, and slightly sweet flavor, which makes it popular for both cooking and stuffing. The name "poblano" comes from the Spanish word for "from Puebla," reflecting its geographical origins. In addition to its culinary uses, the poblano pepper is also celebrated in various Mexican cultural festivals and traditions.
