NEW MEXICO CHILES, HATCH, RED, GRANULATED 25lb bag/box (E61D-509298)

Easily add the complex flavor and mild heat of authentic red New Mexico Hatch chiles to any recipe with our Granulated Red New Mexico Hatch Chiles. Grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico for decades, Hatch chiles have a slightly fruity yet faintly smoky flavor, with a subtle sweetness and pleasantly mild heat level. Our Granulated Red New Mexico Hatch Chiles are cut into small flakes, about 1/4-inch in size. While New Mexico chiles can be cultivated throughout the southwestern United States, to be called Hatch chiles they must be grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico. In the Hatch Valley, fields of these chiles stretch north and south along the Rio Grande River, thriving in the hot days and cool nights the region provides. Hatch chiles start off as a deep green color and begin to turn red as they mature. Once fully ripened, red New Mexico Hatch chiles generally have a bit more heat than younger green New Mexico Hatch chiles.
