Named after the city of Anaheim, this is a mild, medium sized chilli pepper that grows to 6-10 inches, often used when green, although it can be used when red. The basic variety ripens to a dark green/reddish colour, but other strains ripen to full red. They are one of the most common chillis in the USA and are used in many foods and recipes. Red varieties can be strung together and dried to make ristras.
