ANAHEIM
|
| 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. |
