Fresh Anaheim Chile

Store whole peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze whole or diced peppers.

Roast or grill Anaheim chiles to bring out their sweetness and smoky flavor.

Remove seeds and membranes for milder heat.

Dice finely and add to salsas, stews, chili, or stuffed pepper recipes.

Mistaking them for hotter peppers: Anaheims are generally mild, so don't expect intense heat.

Not removing seeds if you prefer less spice: While mild, the seeds and membranes do contain some capsaicin.
