Melissa's Produce - Hatch Chile Season Is Here! - Review

 Disclosure - free sample provided.


Do you love chile peppers?  I am a big fan.  I like both hot and mild.  It is currently Hatch Chile season!  Have you ever tried these?  They are a flavorful chile that is offered in both a mild or hot variety.  They are great in so  many dishes.  They are great in salsas, soups, stews, and much more.  Have you ever tried hatch chile peppers?  Melissa's offers great fresh hatch chile peppers that you can order and have delivered right to your door.  

I was excited to find out this year that Melissa's is offering an even bigger selection of hatch chile products.  These are great tasty items that incorporate the amazing flavor of hatch chiles into them.  I received some of these tasty hatch chile items from Melissa's Produce to try out.


Hatch chile powders and dried peppers 

Hatch peppers are only available a certain time during the year.  The hatch chile powders and dried peppers are a great way to enjoy hatch chiles year round.  The powders are a great addition to so many dishes.  It's a great way to add lots of flavor to a meal without fat too.  The chile powders are tasty on roasted veggies, and used in a big pot of chili.  I used the dried chile peppers to make my own enchilada sauce.  The hatch peppers gave the enchilada sauce an amazing flavor.  It was honestly the best enchilada sauce that I have had.









Hatch Popcorn and Pecans

Melissa's also offers hatch popcorn.  They offer a regular one, and a kettle style.  Both have a little bit of zip from the chile pepper that is dusted all over the popcorn.  The popcorn is excellent.   I like that the chile isn't over done, and you can still taste the flavor of the popcorn too.  This makes a great anytime snack.

I found myself addicted to the hatch chile pecans.  I was sent a red and a green hatch variety.  Both were loaded with hatch flavor.  The pecans were coated in tasty hatch chile powder.  I fell in love with the green ones because they are a little bit spicier than the red.  What variety would you want to try?






Hatch Chile Salsa and Hatch Red and Green Blend

The Hatch Chile Salsa was a favorite in my house.  It is a great addition to any Mexican style dish.  It's also tasty on eggs.  It has a great flavor that adds a bit of spice to any dish.  I also really enjoyed the jar of red and green hatch chiles.  These have a great roasted flavor.  I added them to my quesadillas, mixed them into scrambled eggs, and topped just about everything with them.
