One of our favorite authentic New Mexico style chiles, with long, straight and meaty pods measuring 6-7 inches in length. Perfect for green or red chile, wonderful for salsas, or for grilling or sautéeing, adding just the right amount of heat to any dish. A perfect choice for the chile aficionado who loves to cook.
