This excellent roasting pepper is a staple for green chile, cherished by New Mexico families—including ours! Bred by New Mexico State University, these peppers grow impressively long, sometimes close to a foot, with thick walls that make them perfect for roasting.
Mild on the Scoville scale, they’re easy to enjoy in a variety of dishes. Even though we live in Oregon now, every year we roast, peel, and freeze tons to savor their flavor year-round. A true New Mexico favorite that’s perfect for any chile lover!
