If you’re looking for the Chile Relleno pepper, you’ve found it. Except it goes by the name of Poblano. Prolific plants put out muchos 4"-8" thick-skinned, tapered fruits that start out a deep dark green with mild heat and earthy flavor. That’s when this pepper (chile) is most often roasted, peeled, and stuffed full (relleno) of meat and cheese. Let it ripen on the vine and the color changes to a deep dark brownish-red that’s much spicier. Or dry it, and you’ll have an Ancho pepper to flake or powder. This one will keep your oven busy all summer long.

The Fresno Chili Pepper is a fun one to follow as it grows. The immature green fruit starts out pointing upward, and has a green, grassy flavor with mild heat. As the color changes through orange to bright red, the fruit hangs down, and the flavor changes to smoky and fruity with a bit more heat than a Jalapeño. These 3" tapered peppers are large enough to stuff, and small enough to pickle. Traditionally used to liven up ceviche, but it’s okay to grill that fish instead and make tacos topped with Fresno chili sauce. Excellent for roasting on the BBQ - or even pickling.
