New Mexico Red Chile Flakes, Capsicum annuum, are mild-to-medium chiles flakes, ranging from 500-3500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). They are also known as New Mexico red chili, red chile flakes, Mexican chili flakes or New Mexico red chile chips

These New Mexico Chile Flakes come from the Big Jim chiles, a cultivar developed by a member of the Franzoy family—the first family of chile farming in Hatch, NM—in cooperation with the Chile Pepper Institute at the New Mexico State University. Once matured, the Big Jim chiles are dried and then crushed to make the chile flakes. Big Jim chiles are in the Guinness Book of World Records as the cultivar that produced the longest chile pepper ever, recorded at a staggering 17 inches long.

Businesses that frequently purchase New Mexico Red Chile Flakes are American, Asian, Vegan and health food restaurants, catering companies, breweries, seasoning companies and companies who manufacture sauces and condiments.

We also carry New Mexico Chile Powder, New Mexico Chiles, Organic New Mexico Chiles, and Organic New Mexico Red Chile Powder.

1 teaspoon of New Mexico Red Chile Flakes is approximately equal to 1 whole New Mexico Chile.

 

Flavor Profile

New Mexico Red Chile Flakes possess a smoky, fruity flavor, with a hint of cherry and a deep, almost tobacco-like low note.

 

Heat Level

New Mexico Red Chile Flakes are mild to medium in heat, measuring 500-3,500 SHU.

 

How To Use

You can use New Mexico Chile Flakes anywhere that you would find regular red pepper chile flakes. Use them to give depth and flavor to New Mexico Chili. Their fruity quality makes them a good choice when making Marinated Smoky Feta. Stir into the marinade when making Caribbean Fajitas. Swap them to the recipe when making Asian Chicken Lettuce Rolls for a sweeter, milder version. You can also put them in dessert; their fruity flavor will go well when making Cinnamon Chile Chocolate Bark

New Mexico Chile Flakes go well with chicken, beef, pork, seafood, beans, tofu, chocolate, lime, cinnamon, garlic, onion, corn, sweet winter squashes, sweet peppers, coriander, and cilantro.

"Bread, Milk, Eggs" This has become the new "Bread, Milk Eggs" for our house. WE must Never be without! We make a mild chili oil with it, a compound butter, and almost all the breakfast eggs have the chili flakes. Flavorful, but not HOT. Excellent "new "addition to the spice shine. Spices INC is the best.

A delicious way to package red chilé Having lived in New Mexico for twenty-five years, I often crave an authentic taste of the red and green Chilé that is such a large part of the diet there. This is an exceptional way to get it in dried form.

I have found these flakes I have found these flakes to be a great addition to pizza, pasta, and soups, and even gives bread dough a little kick.

Great quality Mild hear, good flavor. Fresh fresh fresh. Also Spices inc is very generous-the bottles of all spices I order are packed to the rim; so full I have to take the shaker top off to get them out until I've used enough! Lovely "problem" to have. Highly recommend Spices Inc for flavor and freshness and also the depth of product knowledge available on their website.
