Mulato Isleño – Chocolate Poblano - Seeds

Mulato Isleño – Chocolate Poblano (Capsicum annuum)

The Mulato Isleño is the poblano’s sweeter, darker sibling—ripening from deep green to a rich chocolate brown with mild, inviting heat. Its flavor runs deeper than most mild chiles, offering hints of cocoa, dried fruit, and gentle smokiness that shine in mole, chili powders, and roasted dishes.

Pods grow 4–6 inches long on sturdy 2–3 ft. plants and are excellent fresh, stuffed, or dried. Letting them mature fully or dry on the vine brings out their signature prune-like, earthy depth that has made them a staple in Mexican cooking for generations.

Heat level: 1,000 to 3,000 SHU – Mild.

Flavor: Sweet & Smoky.
