With its bright green color, the Hatch green chile is instantly recognizable. They are usually about four to six inches long and curved. These hot peppers are hot, but not too hot, and the pride and joy of New Mexico.

Hatch Green Chile Peppers

Hatch green chiles are named after the Hatch Valley region in New Mexico where they’re grown. Since Hatch is sometimes known as the Chile Capital of the World or the Napa Valley of green chiles, you know that any hot pepper that comes from this area has to be good! Hatch, New Mexico may be a small town of fewer than 2000 people, but it’s had a major impact on chile pepper culture. The popularity of the Hatch chile may have started in New Mexico, but it’s spread all across the United States and even around the globe.

The growing season for Hatches is about three summer months, with harvest usually toward the end of July or the beginning of August. Sometimes harvest doesn’t happen until September. When it gets colder, harvesting has to stop but this usually isn’t until October. Because these peppers are large with thick walls, they have a very short cultivation season.

Hatch peppers can range on the Scoville Scale from 1000 to 8000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) which is considered a mild chili pepper. However, some can be much hotter. For comparison, jalapeños are usually between 2500 and 8000 SHU. So they are pretty similar in heat, but the average Hatch chile is milder than the average jalapeño.

These peppers are the perfect addition to a wide variety of recipes. They are popular in soups, stews, and sauces. They are an excellent alternative to red pepper flakes on pizza and pasta. Dips like queso, hummus, and, of course, salsa can benefit from the mild pungency and versatility of our Hatch green chile flakes.

Frequently Asked Question about Hatch Green Chiles

What is a Hatch pepper?

A Hatch pepper is a chili pepper variety unique to the Hatch Valley in New Mexico, known for its distinctive flavor due to the region's soil and climate. They range from mild to hot, with flavors that can be earthy and sweet when roasted. Their appearance is elongated, similar to an Anaheim pepper, and they are best known for being roasted. Hatch peppers are versatile in the kitchen, used in everything from chile rellenos to salsas. They have a short harvest season, are culturally significant, and often celebrated at the Hatch Chile Festival.

How hot is a Hatch pepper?

Hatch peppers vary in heat, generally ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Many are mild to medium, comparable to Anaheim peppers, while others can match the heat of the hottest jalapeños. The specific variety, growing conditions, and whether they are roasted can affect their spiciness. They are often labeled by their heat level, allowing consumers to pick their preferred intensity.

What are the most common recipes Hatch peppers are used?

Hatch peppers are a staple in Southwestern and New Mexican cuisine, commonly featured in dishes like chile rellenos where they are stuffed with cheese and either fried or baked, green chile stew where they add a distinctive depth, salsas where they can star in their own Hatch Chile Salsa or mix in a Salsa Verde, enchiladas or burritos for both filling and sauce, and they also enhance dishes like mac and cheese or burgers with their unique flavor profile.

Why did the Hatch green chile refuse to play cards?

Because it was afraid of getting roasted at the poker table!

Have already used in stews and soups - and it is so simple to use! Sprinkling some of the Hatch Green Chile Flakes into onion dip mix takes it up to a whole new level, and is so easy!

Wonderful, smokey spice! Great product.

I didn't know that you were able to get green chile flakes. They were very helpful in my recipe

We make a cheese with this product. Hatch Chili Pepper Jack coming out of the mountain of Colorado! I appreciate the consistency of this product both in flake size and heat level. Thank you!

I usually go to Hatch in August top buy fresh, roasted chiles but have not been able to make that trip the last 2 years. I can buy them around here, but cannot get the spicier ones. These flakes fill the bill for heat!

These flakes are true to the green chile experience. I love green chile but sometimes dont have time to prepare. These flakes make it easy to add to my eggs, sandwiches, stews, veggies, potatoes, or if I'm feeling adventurous, my ice cream. These are wonderful.

The hatch chilies are actually a gift to my sister, who just learned about hatch chilies and loves the taste, as do I. A gift for the woman who has everything.

I’m so excited! Thank you

This green chili flakes is awesome on our beef jerky. Takes it to another level.

Great product!

Might be good with a more smoky roast taste but delicious and versatile as it is.

These crushed green chiles taste great and have a good heat. I highly recommend them, and I'll buy them again.

The green hatch is the first one I've tried out of the five different kinds I bought. I use it on everything love it.

The Hatch Chili flakes were purchased for my husband, who tried them at a friend's house and loved the flavor. He is happy to have his own at home.

While the shipping was rather steep, the product is of exceptional quality. Would buy again.

Customer photo review of Hatch Green Chile Flakes

I lived in New Mexico until I was 23 years old. Needless to say, I cooked alot of New Mexican food and Hatch hot green chili was my favorite staple. I have lived on the east coast for many years and have found it impossible to find good, hot green chili. I have ordered powdered green chili online from various places and have always found it disappointing. I even purchased what was labeled as Hatch green chili seeds and grew my own. Though it tasted like green chili, there was no heat in it whatsoever. On a recent trip to Santa Fe, I purchased a box of dried Hatch green chili chicken soup mix. I brought it back to New York State and cooked it up. It was amazing! I noticed the green chili in the mix was dried chili "flakes". So I decided to google "Hatch Green Chili Flakes" to see if perhaps I could find some to purchase. I ran across an ad for Hatch green chili flakes from Sonoran Spice Company. I figured I'd give it a try and ordered a jar. When it arrived a made a batch of green chili stew. WOW! Finally I have found a product that is just like the green chili I cooked with when I lived in New Mexico! Thanks so much Sonoran Spice Company!!!

Nothing takes the place of Hatch green chili. These flakes are delicious and ready to add to any dish. My go tos are putting flakes in quesadillas and scrambled eggs and on pizza, but you can add them to anything. I use them in soups and on on fish. Use your imagination. Delivery was quick.

Hatch green chilies are the best in the world. Hatch green chili flakes are wonderful to mix with Hatch red chili flakes and they will go fantastic on tamales and soups on tacos and any other wonderful dishes that you choose to make. I would prefer them if they were ground up a little bit more, but nevertheless, they are still wonderful just as they are.

The bomb!!! I feel there is no better green chili than a Hatch green chili. Sonoran Spice is the only Hatch green chili for this guy. Thank you to everyone at Sonoran Spice. Phil Oyler

The best hatch Chile flavor ever!

We’ve been using a jarred hatch chilie for years in our queso and have struggled sourcing it. Tried these out and fell in love. Takes up less space in dry stores area and amazing flavor.

wonderful Hatch Chile flavor and aroma.

Dead on! Just the right heat, hydrates great into hamburger patty for a NM green chile cheeseburger. Recommend, added to green chile stew great medium high heat!
