HATCH RED CHILE PODS - SACK

Hatch red chile pods are dried chiles grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico. They start as green chiles and are left on the plant to ripen and turn red before being picked and dried.

These red chile pods are usually sold in sacks and are used to make rich, flavorful red chile sauces. To use them, people soak the pods in water, remove the seeds and stems, then blend them into a smooth sauce that’s great for enchiladas, stews, and more.

Hatch red chile pods are full of bold flavor and are a key ingredient in traditional New Mexican cooking.
