Sandia Chile Powder, Capsicum annuum, is a medium-heat chile powder that delivers 5,000-7,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This fire-engine red powder is fruity, with a brisk sweetness and a straightforward, traditional New Mexico chile flavor. The heat in a Sandia pepper increases as the pepper matures, so the vibrant red color of our Sandia Chile Powder indicates that these peppers were picked at their peak maturity, and their peak heat. 

The Sandia pepper was cultivated at the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University. A hybrid of the Anaheim pepper and the NuMex #9 cultivar, Sandia peppers have taken their place at the table since 1956. Their thin skin makes them ideal for drying and grinding into powder; a secondary hybrid, the Sandia Select, has a thicker skin and is more suited for roasting and stuffing.

 

Tips From Our Kitchen

Mix Sandia Chile Powder in with ranchero sauce for crazy-good huevos rancheros. Liven up breadings for chicken tenders—or chicken-fried steak—with a tablespoon of Sandia pepper in the flour. Sprinkle some Sandia Chile Powder on avocados for kick-in-the-pants guacamole, or drizzle watermelon with lime juice and Sandia Chile Powder for a surprising take on a summer favorite.

I lived in New Mexico I lived in New Mexico for 5 years. I moved back to Hawaii and this chili is what i missed most. I was so happy when i received it in the mail. It is totally worth the shipping and handling.

wonderfully different flavor This chile has a more floral mild flavor than others in my varied collection from all parts of the world

Sandia Chile Powder Fresh slightly citrus taste, and a great chile-pepper finishing aroma. The heat is mild enough to where quite a bit of Sandia can be added without the dish being too hot. Goes well with the earthy Hatch Mild, or as a spicy Southwestern substitute for Paprika.
