Description

Anaheim Pepper is a classic, open-pollinated variety known for its mild heat and versatile flavor. These long, tapered green chiles grow 6–8 inches in length and mature to red if left on the plant, offering a slightly sweeter, more developed flavor at full ripeness.

Mild and slightly tangy, Anaheim peppers are perfect for roasting, grilling, stuffing, and slicing into a wide range of dishes. They are especially popular for chiles rellenos and Southwestern cuisine, delivering flavor without overwhelming heat.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual

Peppers require warm conditions and fertile, well-drained soil for best production. Provide consistent moisture and avoid temperature stress during flowering. Harvest green for a milder flavor or allow fruits to ripen fully to red for added sweetness and depth.
