Taste the one-of-a-kind flavor of New Mexico's world-famous chilies at any time of the year with this shelf-stable Hatch Green Chile Powder. Available in Hot or Mild versions, Desert Provisions' product has a wonderful grassy, vegetal flavor like a green jalapeño but is more savory and earthy; the chili peppers' grassy, herbaceous aromas adds to the complexity. The Hot powder has a bold medium-hot warmth, while the Mild is still spicy but not overwhelming. A vital ingredient in Southwestern cuisine, New Mexico chili peppers are so iconic that they're in fact trademarked: Only peppers grown in Hatch Valley, New Mexico, can bear the name “Hatch chili,” and thousands of chili-lovers worldwide flock to the area for the annual Hatch Chili Festival, which takes place around Labor Day weekend at the end of the chili harvest. Desert Provisions, a purveyor of Southwestern specialties, carefully sources its Hatch-certified peppers from a fourth-generation New Mexico farm.
