Anaheim traces to New Mexico chiles and rose to fame in early California canneries—long, smooth pods (about 6–8”) with gentle, family-friendly heat (roughly 500–1,500 SHU). Roast and peel for smoky-sweet strips, stuff for classic chile rellenos, or slice into fajitas and salsas. Let pods ripen red for deeper sweetness, then dry for chile flakes or blend into a rich red sauce. Thin walls blister fast and peel clean; flavor runs bright and slightly grassy when green, mellowing to sweet and paprika-like when red. Naturally high in vitamin C, with capsaicin delivering warmth without overwhelm. If you want flavor first and heat second, Anaheim belongs in the rotation.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
