Organic New Mexico Red Chile Powder, Capsicum annuum, is a mild chile powder that measures between 1,000-2,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It is also referred to as organic New Mexico red chili powder, New Mexico red chili powder or red chili powder. 

Our Organic New Mexico Red Chile Powder is ground from chiles grown on a fourth-generation family farm that has been in operation since the early 1900s, in the famed Hatch region of New Mexico. Chile peppers from the Hatch region are renowned for their unique flavor, products of the area’s terroir—the hot days, cool nights, and rich, loamy soil of the area’s farmland. Chile peppers became a cultural institution about a hundred years ago when agribusiness farming began in earnest, though chiles have been grown in the area for about 500 years.

Organic New Mexico Red Chile Powder is popular with seasoning companies; brewpubs; taco food trucks; bar & grill, burger, and seafood restaurants; and independent spice shops.

We also have whole, dried Organic New Mexico Chiles as well as conventional New Mexico Chile Powder, New Mexico Red Chile Flakes, and New Mexico Chiles.

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