Fresh jalapeno, fresno, serrano, habanero, and Scotch bonnet can taste green, floral, grassy, crisp, or tropical. Drying pulls a pepper in another direction. Water leaves, sugars concentrate, skins toughen, color darkens, and the aroma moves toward raisin, tobacco, berry, leather, smoke, earth, or warm spice depending on the chile. A sauce built with dried ancho will not behave like a sauce built with ripe poblano, even though they are related. The dried pod brings its own architecture.</p>
