Frozen Hatch Green Chile

The age old question! Everyone's tolerance is different, so what's extra hot to one person is just right for another.

Mild gives you all of the flavor with a gentle warmth. Pile it on without reaching for a glass of milk.

Hot is a real New Mexican kick that still lets the chile flavor come through.

XXHot is for the folks who put chile on everything and still want more. You know who you are!

Not sure? Start with Mild or Hot. We did our best to make the levels sensible, and you can always move up next harvest.

Get 20! It ships in the same box as 10 does, so you pay for the chile but not for a second shipment.

Here's a real example, shipped to Texas:

• 10 pounds: $115 plus $36 shipping = $151
• 20 pounds: $210 plus $66 shipping = $276

That second 10 pounds costs you $125 instead of $151. Works out to $13.80 a pound delivered instead of $15.10.

A box holds 20 pounds. Past that it's a second box with its own shipping, so a 40 pound order travels as two boxes.

Why does shipping cost what it does? Frozen chile can't go on a truck. It flies UPS 2-Day Air packed in an insulated box with commercial ice packs, and air freight on 20 pounds of frozen food isn't cheap. That's the carrier's price, not ours. We don't add a markup.

Roughly what one box runs, from recent orders:

• New Mexico: about $26
• Arizona, southern California, north Texas, Wyoming: about $36
• Northern California, central Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, the Dakotas: $46 to $48
• Oregon, Washington, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Florida, New England: $74 to $81

Your exact number comes from your ZIP at checkout, before you pay.

All frozen chile ships once a week, every Tuesday. Orders go out on the Tuesday following your order by end of day.

You'll have tracking by Tuesday night, Wednesday morning at the latest, then two days in the air.

2-Day Air is required so it arrives frozen, and you can upgrade to Next Day Air® at checkout. Subscription orders default to 2-Day, so just contact us if you'd like to upgrade one. Our shipping policy has all the details.

Your chile arrives factory sealed in 5 lb bags with the heat level marked on each one, tucked into a custom insulated Chopped Chile Co. box with commercial grade ice packs.

No dry ice, ever. The CO2 degrades the quality of the chile, and we're not willing to do that to it.

Easiest place to start is straight out of the bag as a dip for tortilla chips. From there, pile it on burritos, enchiladas, tacos, burgers, and eggs, or stir it into a green chile stew. Anywhere you'd use chile, this works.

Once thawed and opened, use it within about two weeks in the refrigerator, depending on how cold yours runs. Kept frozen at 0°F it holds its flavor for a year.

Our recipe archive is free, and there's a printed cookbook if you'd rather have it on the counter!
