Poblano Mulato Isleño Chile - Chocolate Poblano Seeds

Discover the rich, sweet flavor of Poblano Mulato Isleño Chile - Chocolate Poblano Seeds, a mild and versatile heirloom pepper that adds depth to your culinary creations. Slightly larger and sweeter than traditional Poblano peppers, this unique variety matures to a stunning chocolate brown, earning its nickname as the "chocolate poblano." Perfect for rellenos, salsas, roasting, or drying, these peppers are a must-have for any home gardener or chef.

Why Choose Our Chocolate Poblano Seeds?

These heirloom, non-GMO seeds produce heart-shaped peppers that grow 3 in. wide and 5 in. long, ripening from deep glossy green to a rich dark chocolate brown. The sturdy 3’ tall plants yield an abundant harvest all season long, making them a rewarding addition to your garden. With a mild heat level (1,000 - 1,500 Scoville units), these peppers offer a distinctive sweet flavor that enhances dishes without overwhelming spice.

Versatile Culinary Uses

Enjoy the Mulato Isleño in both its immature and mature stages. Use fresh green peppers for rellenos or roast them for smoky salsas. When dried, they become a key ingredient in authentic mole sauce, adding a deep, complex sweetness. Their robust flavor profile makes them a favorite in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine.

Easy to Grow

Each packet contains 10 seeds, ready for your garden. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nights, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat. Keep the soil moist and provide bright light for optimal germination (7-21 days). Transplant seedlings once they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30 in. apart in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers. Harvest when peppers turn dark green or let them mature to their signature chocolate brown.

Grow with Confidence

All our seeds are GMO-free and open-pollinated, ensuring you can save seeds for future seasons. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, these Poblano Mulato Isleño Chile seeds promise a bountiful harvest of flavorful, aromatic peppers.

Customers praised these seeds as "easy to grow" with "sturdy plants" producing "big, quality peppers" excellent for stuffing and roasting. Shoppers reported prolific yields of 15-35 peppers per plant with "wonderful" flavor perfect for mole and chili. However, one customer received incorrect seeds that were long and skinny instead of poblano-shaped.

  • Over 35 peppers per plant - I've harvested over 300 meaty peppers from 8 plants.
  • Better than expected - peppers over 5 inches, pretty much the perfect pepper.
  • Best for making mole! Very unique color and flavor, a staple in our garden.

Favorite poblano

Ok germination that resulted in very sturdy plants that stood strong during harsh winds that damaged many other plants in my garden. Gorgeous big poblanos that were equally good green or chocolate. Will grow again.

Not the right seeds

Two years ago, i purchased these seeds and grew them last year and this year. I grew them again this year to give them another chance just to make sure that I hadn't messed up labeling or something, but that was not the case. The seeds I got were not a poblano seed pepper. Peppers did turn brown but are long and skinny. They remind me of a shishito or pepperoncini pepper, so must have crossed with something else grown in the field. Very disappointed!

Hi Lisa! Can you please email us at support@sandiaseed.com with these details and your order number? We stand behind our seeds and can refund your money or send you some new seeds. Sorry for the mixup!

Love the flavor, my keeper!

Never tried before so only 2 were planted. Wish I did more. Even with late start outside here in z8b I had 15 on 1 plant and 20 on other. Both in large pots. Gave my neighbor a few to try and we both will plant more next yr. Thank you!!

only wish I had grown more

These were GREAT sellers for seedlings. We had poor germination with a few other varieties and these stole the show. Loved sharing these seedlings with people. Had great feedback that everyone's plant produced big, quality peppers!

Over 35 Peppers per Plant

From the 8 robust plants that I planted from seed, I've harvested over 300 meaty peppers. I'm very pleased with the production. Much more than I ever got from the hybrid poblanos from Bonnie plants. I wanted to save the seeds so I didn't need to purchase expensive bedding plants, but planted more that I would usually need assuming that open pollenated plants wouldn't produce like the hybrids. LOL I foresee lots of chili stew in the future.

Thank you Sandia Seed Co.

Better than expected

Half of my pepper plants are producing heavy peppers that are over 5 inches. The largest plants are now 5 feet tall with many peppers. I'll be using one of them for seed stock, the largest peppers are close to 7 inches and the heat is perfect. Their spice reminds me of the Sandia peppers of my youth in the South Valley of Albuquerque. Pretty much the perfect pepper.

Best tasting poblano

This is the best tasting Poblano on the market. Wife makes a fantastic chili with it.

My pick is Mulato Isleno Pepper Seeds!

This was by far the best performing veggie in my garden last year and my first time growing these! They needed a bit of shade from the intense Sun in the summer, (I’m in the High Desert of California), but performed wonderfully! One 18” plant gave me 8 good size peppers! I actually had to prop up some stems!😂 The taste was wonderful and so was the casserole I made with them!
I will be planting these again!
