Anaheim chile

/AN-ah-highm/
[English] plural Anaheim chiles

Anaheim chillis are long, slender, sweet, mild to hot chillis, suitable for grilling. They are often grilled and then used in salads, or for stuffing with cheese. They are often bright yellowish-green but there is a red variety known as the colourado chilli and a green known as the California Green. Anaheim chillis are rarely dried but are usually used fresh, but are moderately pungent when green, hotter when red. They are native to Kenya but are now grown in the United States.
