Yes Poblanos are usually mild. But the heat varies, by size, maturity, variety, etc. They can be almost sweet to a 3 alarm fire!
Generally the darker the green (or if they are starting to turn red/brown) they are at the peak of their heat. The bigger ones tend to be hotter (unlike Jalapeno where the bigger ones tend to be more mild). Most of the heat is in the membrane. If you let the roasted peppers sit for quite awhile before removing the membrane then the heat can easily travel into the rest of the flesh. Or you may have trimmed the membrane less closely and actually left a fair amount of the membrane flesh in the pepper. Better luck next time |

I love poblano peppers, but with peppers you never know, maybe they got mixed up at the store?
Anyhow, I'm going out later to pick up some I will let you know if any of them differ in heat. Sure would love to grow them in my garden. Maybe next year, will have to get a hold of Hermit to see if she grows em. _________________ "A WASTE IS A TERRIBLE THING TO MIND" |

Oh cool, I'll try to remember for next year, I love her plants, the bobcat mater plant has gone nuts this year, and my peppers are doing good too.
Thank You for the info ![]() _________________ "A WASTE IS A TERRIBLE THING TO MIND" |

The poblanos were smaller ones and they were a dark green, but not red or brown. I did let the two poblanos I used for the rellenos sit after roasting in the refrigerator intact until the next day. I then took out the seeds and membranes, stuffed them and cooked them. I took out the seeds and membranes from the ones I used for the lasagna right after I charred and peeled them and then cut them into strips immediately and made the lasagna. I'll make sure to take the seeds and membranes out right away after roasting next time! Thanks for the help. |
