Hatch Yellow Hot Peppers

Tom Beatini

I shared the box with friends. We agreed, the perfect amount of heat balanced with flavor. I will likely order them again.

Love the Yellow Hot Peppers

Kimmer

We have wanting to try Yellow Hots for a long time but did not know where to find. When heard that Fresh Chile Co was offering for the first time, jumped at the chance and did not disappoint! They have a sweetness that adds to the spice. Will definitely order next year again.

Watch Out For

mediumCanned or jarred 'Hatch' products are often not authentic and lack the flavor of fresh roasted Hatch chiles.
lowHeat levels vary significantly between varieties and even individual peppers; some may be unexpectedly mild or too hot.
lowTrue Hatch chiles are region-specific; peppers grown elsewhere may be sold as Hatch-style but lack the same terroir.

Community Q&A

Are Hatch chiles just Anaheims?
They are New Mexico chile varieties closely related to Anaheim; legally, only those grown in Hatch, NM can be called Hatch, and many think terroir matters.
What can I make with Hatch chiles?
Popular uses include enchilada sauce, hot sauce, chile rellenos, pork green chili, and roasted/frozen peppers for year-round use.
Are canned or jarred Hatch chiles as good as fresh?
No—fresh roasted Hatch chiles are vastly superior; frozen brands like Bueno are closer, but canned/jarred fall short.
How hot are Hatch chiles?
Heat varies widely by variety, from mild (around 500 Scoville) to hot (12,000+), with most medium heat and build-up in dishes.

Compared To

vs Anaheim peppers

Hatch chiles are essentially Anaheim-type New Mexico chiles grown in Hatch; some say branding, others say soil/terroir make a real difference.

vs Canned/jarred Hatch products

Fresh roasted Hatch chiles are far superior to canned or jarred versions, which lack flavor and are often not authentic.

Source Threads

  • Hatch chiles are legally branded Anaheims grown in Hatch

    Unless they were from Hatch NM, then they're Hatch Green Peppers, which are just Anaheims with fancy branding. Legally. Like by NM law only green chiles (pretty sure specifically Aneheims, but I could be mistaken) can be called Hatch Green chiles.

  • Fresh Hatch peppers bring flavor, heat, and roasting aroma

    They have a huge amount of flavor and a good amount of heat. They go on everything. These ones are too spicy for anybody in my household so I'll have to freeze some. The smell is absolutely amazing when you're roasting them.

  • Hatch chile is New Mexico chile with varieties and festival

    Hatch chile is the most common way of talking about New Mexico chile. Our chile varieties range from about 500 scoville to 12,000 or so, depending on the variety. The Hatch valley is the number one chile growing region in New Mexico, and has a yearly festival on Labor Day(around the start of September) weekend since 1972. The official name for these chile varieties is New Mexico chile, and most of the varieties developed by New Mexico State University like Big Jim and Sandia bear the designator Numex.

  • Uses for a 25 lb delivery of Hatch peppers

    Lots of enchilada sauce, hot sauce, chili, chile rellenos, and lots of just experimenting! Gonna do some fermented sauces, half roasted and half not to compare. Giving a bunch to some friends, and I'll probably still have plenty left over that I'll just freeze as mash lol

  • Canned/jarred Hatch substitutes fall short of fresh roadside chiles

    As someone raised in New Mexico on a steady diet of hatch chilis these are kinda fine. Like if your can’t get anything else it’ll do. Really what you want is fresh seasonal Hatch chilis sold on the roadside that you honestly won’t find out of New Mexico, Colorado, or Arizona.

  • Pork green chili tradition and roasting your own bushel

    Hatch chilies are specific to a region of New Mexico. Most of the time pork green chili is made with hatch chilies. There are a lot of great recipes out there. Highly recommend trying them. One of the biggest things I miss from living in Colorado is pork green chili. In fact, I usually order a bushel every year and roast them myself.
