Hatch Chiles, tell me about them.

[Evil-g]

I'm getting they are pretty special and would like to know more.

 

[landarc]

They are green, longish, come in a variety of heats.

 

[landarc]

Oh, and they have a wonderful flavor, not what I would call complex, but, very clean, very distinctive of chile peppers, with a mid-late hit of heat, the mild ones are almost too mild. Medium and hot have a heat that rolls up after you've chewed a bit, allowing the floral and vegetal flavors in chile to develop. The flavor is also, perhaps stronger, I guess is how I would describe it. Consistently, they taste great.

I've had them. but don't get what all the hoopla's about. They taste like Poblanos to me.

Are they expensive? Sometimes people get caught up thinking if it's pricey it has to be good.

Hatch is a small farming town in southern New Mexico. They grow and export a lot of chile. So do other small towns up and down the Rio Grande.

This link will give you an idea of the different varieties:

Depending on the specie, and the weather during the growing season, some fruit is hotter than others.

It's a staple at my house, we probably buy two or three 30 lb sacks a year. I was paying ~$30 per sack roasted last year, we'll see what prices are here soon. Last year I bought chile grown in Lemitar, NM from the stand down the street. It was a little too hot for my wife...
