Details

New Mexico takes great pride in their chiles. The state motto is, "red or green?" Enjoy the delicious flavor of New Mexican red chiles in a convenient powdered form. If you're making a salsa or soup, this is a much simpler way to add chiles to your recipes without rehydrating and pureeing the whole pepper. New Mexican chiles have a versatile flavor and heat level comparable to cayenne. Their heat ranges from 700 to 4,000 Scoville heat units. You may find this chile as a more complex alternative to cayenne in your recipes.

Review Summary

Customers love the balanced heat here: lively and cayenne-like without the sharp bite, with a crisp, comfortable zing and more depth than standard red pepper. It’s a favorite in chili, bean soup, beef curry, and Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Southwestern cooking, where it adds complex warmth, character, and authentic New Mexico-style chile flavor.

Thumbs UP!

I have loved NM Red Chilies a long time. Used to get in farmer’s stand in Santa Fe Farmers Market decades ago. The flavor is cayenne-like but not sharp. Very usable.

Complex and just enough heat!

This has just enough heat to kick things up a bit but not enough to burn your tongue or send your stomach into overdrive. It's also much more complex than cayenne pepper. I used it in a bean soup and it was marvelous! Highly recommended if you want a bit of complex and mysterious heat.

Awesome Chile Powder

This NM chile powder delivers excellent flavor with just the right amount of heat, for me that’s mild. Grab some, your chili will thank you!
