The Anaheim pepper is a mild chili pepper, typically bright green when unripe and maturing to a vibrant red. Its flavor is subtly sweet with a touch of heat, registering between 500-2,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). These peppers boast a thick, fleshy wall, making them ideal for roasting, stuffing, and grilling. Find fresh Anaheim peppers at your local grocery store or farmers market, and enjoy their versatile, mild flavor in a wide variety of dishes. They are known for their smooth texture, adding a delicate crunch when fresh and become tender when cooked. They typically grow to be about 6-10 inches in length.

Anaheim peppers are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and crispness. Place them in a plastic bag or container in the crisper drawer. They typically last for 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze Anaheim peppers. Wash, dry, and chop or slice the peppers before freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Frozen peppers are best used in cooked dishes as their texture may change.
