Buy hatch chile online

Hatch chile is a type of chili pepper grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, celebrated for its unique flavor and medium heat.

Hatch chile is great in salsas, enchiladas, stews, burgers, chiles rellenos, and even scrambled eggs.

Their spiciness ranges from mild to hot, depending on the variety, but they typically have a moderate heat with a distinctive earthy flavor.

Removing seeds is optional, but they can be bitter and add extra heat. Most people remove them before cooking.

Green hatch chiles are harvested earlier and have a fresher flavor, while red ones are ripened longer and taste sweeter and slightly smokier.

Store roasted hatch chiles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
