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" wide and 6" 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" 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.

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.
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!
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!!
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!
Planted 12 plants.what we did we roasted them and freeze them for later. We dried some,we made a seasoning powered. And best of all we gave some to our friends and neighbors. We plant again next year.
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.
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.
Very sturdy plants bearing large, dark purple peppers. Very satisfied with the grow ;)
I grow these every year and they are a staple in our garden! They have a very unique color and flavor and make the absolute best mole. I highly recommend them!
This is the best tasting Poblano on the market. Wife makes a fantastic chili with it.
Been growing this for two years now. Will always be in the garden.
