“People already know they can get flame-roasted Hatch Green Chile from our online store, and so it’s really taken off this year,” says Young Guns Produce President Chris Franzoy, “but we’ve also added a whole line of frozen, flame-roasted red and mixed chile products as well.”
Specifically, Young Guns has added whole, flame-roasted frozen red chile, and flame-roasted diced red chile.
Like the frozen, flame-roasted whole green chiles, the whole red chiles are de-stemmed and de-seeded. “Fresh red chile is sweeter than the dried red chile,” explains Franzoy, “and so making many of the staples of New Mexico cuisine, like red chile sauce for use in everything from red enchiladas to red chile con carne, is not only easier but it also tastes much better.”
In addition to selling the frozen red chile online, Young Guns has also introduced their “Autumn Blend,” a mix of diced, flame-roasted green and red chile. Franzoy said that the Autumn Blend creates a beautiful chile con queso because not only does it look beautiful, but the sweetness of the red really comes through.
These products are all currently available from Young Guns Produce’s online store.
“We’re also shipping anywhere in the lower 48 (states) for free,” Franzoy added, “so people who love and miss New Mexico cuisine can get their chile-fix no matter where they are!”
