Fresh Anaheim peppers (Capsicum annuum) are long, slender green chile peppers with a mild to moderately spicy flavor and tender flesh. Anaheim is a cultivar within the New Mexican chile pod type and can be harvested green or allowed to mature to red. These peppers provide vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, and small amounts of capsaicinoids, the compounds responsible for chile pepper heat. Their mild flavor makes Anaheim peppers especially versatile for roasting, grilling, stuffing, sautéing, and adding to soups, stews, salsas, egg dishes, and other savory meals.
