Our New Mexico grown sun-dried red chile pods are hand-cleaned with stems and most of the seed removed for quick and easy preparation. This one pound package is equivalent to almost two pounds of chile that is has stems.
We recommend that you place the entire bag of chile in the freezer, to keep fresh, until you are ready to make the delicious red chile sauce. This package will yield approximately 5.5 pints of red "gold" chile sauce depending on its consistency.
Please place the chile pods, that are packaged in a plastic bag, directly into your freezer as soon as you receive it if you don’t plan on making it right away. If not, please take it out of the plastic bag and place in netted bag or brown bag so that chile can breathe. This will ensure the chile’s freshness and keep it from getting moldy.
Called in an “emergency” red chile order less than one week away from Thanksgiving. Eleanor eagerly shipped my order across the country to arrive just in time for the holiday. Beautiful, great tasting red chile pods arrived and made the perfect addition to our meal, more specifically, our mashed potatoes. Thanks for saving our Thanksgiving, Eleanor!
I grew up in New Mexico and have sampled chile peppers from all over the world. But these red chile pods are the best flavor make the best red chile sauce. I order them every year, and make several pints of red sauce that I keep in the freezer. it is just as good as fresh when thawed out. I have never tasted any better. I am so glad you make it available for shipment to Minnesota where I now live.
