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.
There, they were quickly traded for their bold flavors and as a cheaper alternative to pricey peppercorns.
Now, regional influence and cultivation has created wide variety of chile varieties that are unique to specific cultures.
