New Mexico Red Chile Powder

Ground from ripe red Hatch, New Mexico chiles, New Mexico Red Chile Powder brings the taste of sunny New Mexico to you. Hot days and cool nights, and the mix of wind, soil, sky, and careful cultivation combine savory splendor, creating peppers with dazzling flavor and an enchanting mystique that stretches back through generations. Boasting a gorgeous burnt crimson color and a gentle heat, this chile powder epitomizes rounded, balanced chile flavor.

Our New Mexico Red Chile Powder presents an earthy, sweet flavor with grassy undertones, with a touch of smoke and raisin and a hint of dried cherries. The pepper we’ve sourced is the NM Guizeppi varietal and is grown, harvested and ground on a farm in Hatch, New Mexico that’s been part of the Lytle family for generations. We’ve selected their fully-ripened chiles for our New Mexico Red Chile Powder.

It delivers a mild heat, ringing in at 800-1,400 Scoville Heat Units.

Tips from our Kitchen

Use it however you’d use any other chile powder—add zip to chilis and enchiladas, and wake up your vegetables by tossing them with this powder and roasting. But the sweet warmth of New Mexico Red Chile Powder can end up in surprising places. Don’t be afraid to add some to your mac & cheese, make unforgettable vinaigrettes, or toss some on pears and freeze them for sorbet.
