Ancho peppers: These dried peppers are mild in heat but have a rich, smoky flavor that's perfect for chili. They can be used whole or ground into powder.

Poblano peppers: These large, mild peppers are a good choice for people who don't like a lot of heat. They have a slightly sweet flavor that balances out the heat of other peppers.

Guajillo peppers: These dried peppers are a bit spicier than ancho peppers, but they still have a smoky flavor that's perfect for chili. They can also be used to make chili powder.

Very interesting info! I was curious, do you grow your peppers then dry them? I have always wondered what the difference is as I have seen the fiesta brand peppers sold as dried before…like this photo. Are they more potent for spice when dried? I know I can google this info but curious if you grow your own then dry them? Thanks!
