What it is
This product features whole poblano peppers that have been roasted to perfection. Roasting brings out a smoky depth and a tender texture in the peppers. They are typically packed in a brine or oil to preserve their freshness and flavor. This convenient option saves you the time and effort of roasting peppers yourself, making them ready to use in a variety of dishes. The roasting process mellows the natural heat of the poblano, making it more approachable for many palates.
