Description
While New Mexico chiles are cultivated throughout the Southwest, true Hatch chiles are only grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, where fields of colorful chiles stretch north and south along the Rio Grande River.
New Mexico Hatch Chiles are long, thin-fleshed chiles boasting a fruity, faintly smoky flavor, with a subtle sweetness and mild heat level.
Hatch chile are a variety of the species of the genus Capsicum, also known as peppers.
Hatch chiles start off as a deep green color and begin to turn red as they mature. Both red and green Hatch chiles are cultivated and enjoyed —use is largely based on personal preference, despite subtle differences in flavor.
Green Hatch Chiles are said possess a smokier, more intense flavor than fully ripened Red New Mexico Hatch Chiles, which are sweeter and slightly hotter.
