Description
Our Steam-Treated Red New Mexico Hatch Chile Powder is made of ripe red New Mexico Hatch chiles that are ground into a fine powder. Grown in the famed Hatch Valley of New Mexico, Hatch chiles have a blend of subtle sweetness and mild heat paired with faint smoky notes, giving the chiles a unique flavor all their own.
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, but as they mature, the chiles begin to turn dark red.
Once fully ripened, red New Mexico Hatch chiles generally have a bit more heat than younger green New Mexico Hatch chiles.
New Mexico chiles are also known as California chiles, Magdalena chiles, chile Colorado or chile seco del norte. 
New Mexico Chiles (as their name implies) are cultivated throughout the southwest states especially New Mexico.
The fully ripe, red New Mexico chiles used to make this chile powder generally have a bit more heat.
The varieties grown in New Mexico tend to be slightly hotter than those grown elsewhere in the U.S.
