Ancho Pepper Flakes

Ancho Pepper Flakes offer a deep, earthy sweetness with mild heat and a rich, raisin‑like aroma. As one of the foundational chiles in Mexican cuisine, ancho adds warmth, depth, and color to a wide range of dishes.

Grind the flakes fresh when ready to cook — the natural oils stay protected until the moment they’re released, giving you a richer, more aromatic flavor than pre‑ground ancho powder.
