Mulato Isleño is a Mexican poblano type that ripens chocolate brown and dries into the mild, raisiny‑sweet chilies used for mole sauces. Fresh green pods roast beautifully; dried, they grind into deep, smoky powders. Heat is gentle (1,000–2,500 Scovilles), so flavor leads. Plants are productive with warmth and steady moisture. Start indoors, stake if heavy, and let fruits fully color for authentic mole depth. Pantry gold for winter cooking.

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.
