Description
  • Organic Red New Mexico Chile Powder is made by grinding both the seeds and pods of whole, mature red New Mexico chiles.
  • New Mexico chiles are also known as California chiles, Magdalena chiles, chile Colorado or chile seco del norte. 
  • With their quintessential chile shape (spoon-shaped elongated pods), New Mexico Chiles are often used for stringing "ristras," an arrangement for drying pepper pods by threading them onto a long string.
  • While decorative, ristras originated as an efficient way to dry fresh chiles for later use.
  • Now, regional influence and cultivation has created wide variety of variations that are unique to specific cultures.
  • New Mexico Chiles (as their name implies) are cultivated throughout the southwest states especially New Mexico.
  • They are also widely grown in California (including the areas around Anaheim, source of yet another name for these peppers) and throughout Texas where fields of these agricultural treasures stretch north and south along the Rio Grande River, thriving in the hot days and cool nights the region provides.
  • New Mexico Chiles start off deep green but gradually turn red as they mature.
  • 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.
