The Ancho Grande Pepper is named for its size—ancho is wide, grande is big. That’s when it’s dark red. While it’s still dark green, it’s called Poblano, which is named for a town in Mexico.

This fleshy, thick-skinned pepper is traditionally used for chiles rellenos and mole sauce, but you can probably think of a few more uses while you’re studying for the quiz about its name.

The Emerald Giant Pepper may not be your first precious gem, but it could become your favorite in the garden after you polish off a few. Large 4"-5", blocky, thick-skinned fruits dangle like pendants on vigorous, drought-tolerant plants. As it catches the light, the color matures from emerald to citrine to ruby. And its juicy, crispy, sweet, and mild facets make any recipe shine with delicious brilliance.
