Authentic Hatch

These chili's have authentic Hatch pepper taste and smell, get their flavor towards or at red stage. Bought my first batch at Greens produce Arlington TX., bought one of each variety of seed on tabletop display I still have older original plus newer seeds bought. Moved from El paso TX. years back and it's great to have the New Mexico regional chili's.

Great Selection of Hatch Chilies

I grow several of the Hatch variety chilies. They're the only ones my wife will eat since the others are too hot. Even these Hatch Red Hots are not too bad for her. Some of the others like Big Jims and the large green varieties make great peppers for recipes. I've found no other source with such a wide selection. The seeds are high quality and have high germination rates.

Sandia seed is my go to supplier.

Great harvest

Great harvest from the red hot hatch peppers plants. Grew plants in raised bed in zone 7. I will grow these every year.

Better tasting tamales

This is the second time I have used Hatch Red Chile peppers. The harvest was plenty this year as last year. My wife uses these peppers for her Tamales. The freshness makes for a better-tasting tamale. She has sold over 300 so far this year. I'd be dumb if I allowed this opportunity to slip past me.

Best red chile for ristras and powders

These are our go to favorite for making ristras for drying and then later using for making powder.

Best Hatch Red Chile Seeds

I had great luck with growing these seeds in Texas, nearly all sprouted, plants were healthy and had lots of chiles per plant. I let them dry on the counter and crush, cook and process them for the best enchilada sauce that you can't buy. Growing these every year for sure.
