The green chile powders are made from New Mexico fresh green chile. The chile is diced, dehydrated, and ground into powder. This gourmet spice is used as seasoning, or can be made into a green chile sauce, or used as a rub.
I sent this green chile powder to a family member as a simple seasonal gift. After receiving it, the person was very, very happy with the powder, and unbeknownst to me Sichler Farms had added a gift card and a packet of chile seeds to the order, making what seemed to be rather steep shipping charges a lot easier to accept. All in all a great way to make people happy with something hot and New Mexico True
No, it's not the same as fresh roasted green chile, because nothing is. But, when you want some green chile flavor in a sauce, a stew, on vegetables (potatoes!), in or on eggs, this is the real deal. It tastes like . . . green chile! Mixed with a little garlic powder and salt, it is perfect sprinkled over popcorn that has been tossed with a little olive oil. This is great stuff!
