According to 2024 market research, consumers are increasingly seeking products that add overall flavor, cultural experience, and a little bit of heat to their meals. Until now, fresh Hatch chiles have been hard to ship, but Best in the West has found a way for everyone to enjoy these southwest flavors through a proprietary process, new production facility, and decades of experience. Never before available in the industry, Best in the West's shelf-stable organic Hatch chiles sets a new standard in culinary excellence. Their organic chile products allow manufacturers to craft authentic Hatch chile creations, confidently expanding their organic offerings.

In this week's episode, we're talking to Leah Romero, who covers trending stories for the Las Cruces Sun-News — and NOTHING is more “trending” this time of year than Hatch Green Chile. We're also joined by Adrian Hedden of the Carlsbad Current-Argus, who recently wrote about the chile crop — and the commencement of roasting — around the state. This year, the annual Hatch Chile Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary. Leah has been working to track down residents who were there for the iconic festival's beginnings. Adrian has been covering the upspring of chile roasters around Southeast New Mexico. Sometimes, the chile being roasted is from Hatch; other times, it's from the Pecos Valley — which also grows some respectable green chile. Leah and Adrian were kind enough to join us this week to discuss their coverage of these events.

In this episode, we learn all about hatch chile season at how this retailer makes it a big-time event at his grocery stores. Grown in New Mexico, the hatch chile promotions seem exclusively for the lucky shoppers in the Midwest and West of the U.S., so I seriously have some FOMO, or fear of missing out. But it's a great inspiration for all our regions, how we can take a limited-time produce item that grows in your area and really generate excitement and urgency. So who is the guest on this episode? We talk with Scott Wiggans, the produce director of California-based Bristol Farms, Lazy Acres Natural Market and New Leaf Community Markets, all part of Good Food Holdings. He confirms where the heat is really stored in the chile, how the texture is so buttery — yes, buttery — and how his retail company transforms shoppers into bonafide hatch heads.

One of my very favorite things, at least when it comes to food, is a good pork green chile or Puerco con chile verde. In this episode, we start with fresh hatch chiles and a cut of raw pork. We transform those ingredients into this delightful traditional sauce of the southwest. Typically, you'll find this sauce made all over New Mexico, and if you're lucky, you might find another location where it's also made. Not to worry though, after listening to this episode, you'll be ready to tackle making it on your own. From growing and fire-roasting your own green chiles to selecting an appropriate cut of pork, I've got you covered.

You think you’re learning something new every time YOU listen to the Garden Basics podcast? Heck, I learn something new in each episode, as well. So, this time around, it’s a compilation of garden knowledge that will definitely make you a better gardener, and a better food shopper. We will call this episode, I DID NOT KNOW THAT. College horticulture professor Debbie Flower talks about the benefits of cutting the roots of plants before you stick them in the ground, and most importantly, HOW you cut those roots. A former guest on the show, Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott, recommends washing off all the soil from woody plants before sticking them in the ground.Also, which soil and fertilizer amendments to add to a planting hole (How about liquid seaweed or kelp meal, says I. How about none, says Debbie. Compromise: add it to the top of the soil after planting).Hot chile pepper expert Dave Dewitt talks about the myth of the Hatch Chile, and how those oversized jalapeño peppers that you might see at the market may not pack much heat…which for many of us, might be a good thing. Dave Dewitt is the author of many chile pepper books.Planting tips, pepper advice, on this episode of Garden Basics with Farmer Fred. And we will do it all in under 30 minutes.

Imagine that your whole life you had this abundant bounty of spicy goodness at your fingertips, blindly going about your business and assuming everyone in the country also had the same bounty. Then imagine moving, only to find out that in fact, no one knows WTF you're talking about when you order your enchiladas "Christmas-style." If this makes no sense to you, don't worry -- it will soon. Nate Cotanch is from the Southwest. His mom - one of 17 (!!!) kids - is a New Mexico native, and like most New Mexicans, she's obsessed with hatch chiles, a chile pepper that's only grown in Hatch, New Mexico and only harvested once a year. I've come to find out that it's a very special pepper with a unique flavor and the perfect level of spice. Because of his mom, Nate grew up thinking it was totally normal that once a year during the hatch harvest, his mom would load up her car with fresh chiles, and then spend days roasting them under the broiler. Then, ::dun, dun, dun:: the family moved to the east coast. And well, the first time they tried to order dinner, things got a little weird. Turns out, hatch chiles are a New Mexico thing and not a soul in the South knew about their gloriousness. Fast forward a couple of jobs, some tire kicking about life direction and a move to New York City later, and Nate decides if he can't get hatch chiles in the Big Apple, he'll have to bring them himself. And so, Zia Hatch Chile Company was born. This is his story. Full show notes: wecouldmakethat.com/zia
