HEAT: Extra Hot (35,000 Scoville Units)
Hatch Lumbre (fire) was developed and released by Jimmy and Faron Lytle in 2011, carrying on the tradition of making chile better and more flavorful. The Spanish word “lumbre” means fire…and we can guarantee the description matches the flavor!
Hatch Lumbre has uniform, extra-hot pungency levels and is the hottest of all New Mexico long green chile varieties. If you are looking for a New Mexico chile flavor that will burn you (emphasis on burn), THIS is the one. Not for the faint of heart!
Excellent use for the much-loved green chile stew and a supreme variety for your party salsa. Green or red has become the chile of choice for chile hot heads everywhere.
