Choose from Five Flavors of Fresh Green Chile.

Mild* (available July-Oct. only).   A favorite for those who love the flavor of chile but who can't stand the heat. Perfect on steak or hamburgers.

Medium (now shipping). A meaty, medium heat chile and the largest of the NM chile pods. Great middle tier heat flavor for those who think that mild is wimpy and extra hot is insane. Great for chiles rellenos.

Hot (now shipping). This hot one is a favorite for use in a variety of traditional New Mexican recipes. You have to be pretty cool to try this hot one. Perfect for salsa and quacamole.

Extra-Hot* (available July-Oct. only).  This classic variety has bite!  If you do like it this hot it is wonderful in and on everything from eggs to hamburgers.

XX Hot* (available July-Oct. only). The hottest variety of NM chile peppers we offer. We dare you to try this one.

*These flavors of Hatch Green Chile ship Jul.-Oct. only.
