        When fresh and still green, 
        these mildly hot, heart-shaped peppers are stuffed and made into chilies 
        rellenos. When mature they are dark, rust red, richly flavored, and 
      often dried and ground into chili powder. Peppers become 4 inches long, 
      tapering to a blunt point. Wrinkled skin takes on even more character when 
      dried. May be strung into long ropes or made into wreaths.
