25.01.2022 Its not all about the heat. The #poblano chilli is one of the most commonly used chillis in #mexicancuisine. A very mild chilli that is used fresh for roasting and stuffing. When dried they take on a smoky flavour and are known as the #ancho and used for soups, sauces and meat seasoning. The pods are heart shaped and grow to about 10cm in length. Can be grown in the garden or pots. These and many more varieties are available now at #starkerschillibushes pickup in Newmarket, Brisbane. #homegrown #brisbanegarden #chilli #mexicanflavors #mexican
