When people look at Elephant Butte Dam in southern New Mexico it looks like it has been there forever. Not so. It is a little more than a hundred years old but it took thousands of people a very long time to complete the dam. And I look at it and think of green and red chile. YUM! There is a very good reason for this. Here is the story about Elephant Butte Dam and Hatch chile. Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company .

Many things have changed over the years, especially in our kitchens. Many years ago, there were absolute vegetable and fruit seasons. In the 1960s citrus was a treat at Christmas usually sold in boxes by the local High School band as a fundraiser. Now perhaps we can say there are no absolute season except Hatch Valley grown chile only grows without freezing temperatures. But it is available every day, 365 days a year which is wonderful.

When talking about the great state of New Mexico, green and red chile are central in its identity. Where are you from? I’m from New Mexico. Oh, I love the Green and Red chile. You hear that often. But Green and Red chile in the preparation of food used to be very far apart even though they come from the same plant.

When it comes to commercially grown chile peppers, there is a special label Hatch Chile. Some people think Hatch Chile is a specific variety of chile peppers like Big Jim or Sandia chile. It is not. Rather, Hatch chile reflects the place in Southern New Mexico where very tasty chile peppers are grown. Hatch Chile only describes the unique Hatch Valley grown chile peppers. There is even more to consider after the chile peppers are harvested. Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company .

Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - When and why chile peppers are hot 15:28

There are websites that show people having a difficulty like falling off a ladder amid a Hollywood laugh track. The New Mexico version is when I ask people about their first bite of New Mexico chile peppers. Usually, it involves some discomfort. We do know when and why chile peppers are hot. It is a fact that the same seemingly hot chile peppers to some people seem not hot enough to other people. It is the same chile peppers so how can that be true? The same chile pepper is hot, sometimes too hot to one person, while it is considered not hot enough to another person. This is a New Mexico syndrome where someone is eating happily and another person’s face is red, they are sweating and they say loudly, “My goodness that is very hot,” or words to that effect. Why? It is because each of us experiences the heat in the chile peppers differently. Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company .
