Product Insights
Red Hatch Chile Pistachios from The Fresh Chile Company pair New Mexico-grown pistachios (Alamogordo/Tularosa, not Hatch Valley) with a dry, natural red Hatch chile powder that delivers a sweet-savory, earthy, raisiny flavor and a moderate 5-6 heat that builds as a slow back-of-throat warmth. The shell is coated, so buyers suck the spice first, then crack to eat a lightly seasoned nut; the 4-oz jar costs $5.95 (~$1.49/oz) and serves as a low-risk entry point, with 8- and 16-oz sizes also available. Gluten-free and vegan, but the facility handles other tree nuts, and freshness can vary—resealing and cool storage (or freezing for 6+ months) preserves crunch, while the 30-day guarantee applies only to unopened bags. Currently out of stock, rated 4 stars from 5 reviews.

Red Chili
Great taste with some heat
Fun and spice for your mouth
These beauties add a kick to snack life, Great to suck on the shell and then pop them open to eat the nut. It's important to have on hand for an after work snack.
