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.
I just made my first batch of red chile from this year’s Sichler’s pods (I purchased one bag of hot and one bag of medium to mix them). I had high expectations, since before moving east I had always bought my green chile from Sichler’s and was always more than satisfied. The pods produced a wonderful deep red chile full of flavor and depth and with the perfect heat. Absolutely marvelous. Sichler’s comes through again!
Great heat and absolutely love that it is clean and ready to cook with! Great customer service and quick delivery!
