Red Chile, with many varieties, is a taste hundreds of years old while being as new as the latest innovative variety. Part of the attraction is the subtle taste in all of Chile, a crisp and smokey taste married to a pungent spicy sweet direct flavor. Chile shares flavor with onions, garlic, and other spicy vegetables.
In both Red and Green Hatch Chile, there are many varieties and heat variations. Mild varieties such as 1904 are good when just starting to add Chile Peppers to your cooking, while full flavor and spicy Big Jim, Joe E. Parker, and Sandia Select are delightfully robust.
The heart of the Green and Red Chile attraction is the combination of various tastes and Heat-Taste.

The aim is to have enough to get the attention of your taste buds while leaving a pleasing afterglow of flavor.
