Mulato Island Chile Pepper Seeds

The Mulato Island Pepper, or Mulato Isleno, is similar in shape and flavor to the Ancho Poblano pepper, but has a slightly different flavor and completely different color as it reaches maturity. This variety will be your next pepper obsession.

Growing up to 3 ft. tall, Mulato Island Chile Plants produce 4" long pods that have smooth, shiny skin and a crisp texture. Unlike other Poblanos that ripen from green to red, this variety actually ripens from green to a dark brown when they're ready to be picked. You'll be pleasantly surprised by this new color change!

Mulato Island chiles also have a sweeter, zestier taste compared to other Poblanos, with a flavor that has been described as "like chocolate or licorice, with a hint of cherry and tobacco." Boy, that's a lot of flavors to enjoy! These peppers are commonly dried and have been used in Mexican cooking for hundreds of years. It makes a great chili powder or unique hot sauce addition or mole sauce.
