Anaheim chile
[ AN-uh-hime ]
Named after the California city, the generally mild Anaheim is one of the most commonly available
CHILES in the United States. It is usually medium green in color and has a long, narrow shape. The red strain is also called the chile Colorado. Anaheim
CHILES can be purchased fresh or canned and have a sweet, simple taste with just a hint of bite. Anaheims are frequently stuffed and commonly used in
SALSA. The dried red variety are those used for the decorative
RISTRA, a long string (or wreath) of
CHILES.
