About Anaheim
Green Anaheim chile peppers are medium-sized, elongated and curved pods, averaging 15 to 25 centimeters in length, and have a conical shape with slight tapering towards the non-stem end. The semi-thick skin is smooth with deep linear indentations running the length of the pod and has a glossy and waxy sheen over dark to light green hues. Underneath the skin, the pale green flesh is crisp, aqueous, and faintly striated, encasing a central cavity filled with white membranes and many round, cream-colored seeds. Raw Green Anaheim chile peppers have a crunchy consistency with a bright, slightly fruity, and peppery taste with a moderate spice that does not linger on the palate. When cooked, the pepper develops a smoky, sweet, and tangy flavor.

Green Anaheim chile peppers received national recognition as one of the first canned products to have been developed in California in the late 19th century. Farmer Emilio Ortega was enthralled by the mild flavor of the Green Anaheim chile peppers and brought seeds from New Mexico to begin cultivation of the pepper in his home garden in Southern California. In 1894 he learned how to fire roast and preserve the peppers in canned form, and developed the first commercial food company in Anaheim, California, known as The Ortega Chile Packaging Company.
