Chile Facts
If, when a chile pepper is cut open, the veins have a yellowish orange color in that area, it usually indicates the pepper will be a potent one.
Welcome to Biad Chili Products
Taste the difference and see for yourself why New Mexico Green Chile has become so famous. Dr. Paul Bosland, with NMSU, has brought back the rich, robust green chile varieties produced decades ago that originally put ‘Hatch Green Chile’ on the map. These new ‘Heritage’ varieties have 5 times the flavor of other chilies. So if you are looking for that great tasting, flame roasted Hatch Green Chile that you have heard about — then we have it, whole or chopped, frozen in convenient packages for easy use. Please enjoy!
Products
All our products consist of New Mexico grown chile varieties. Our flame roasted and frozen chile products are harvested fresh daily then frozen quickly to lock in the chile’s natural flavor and nutrients. Our chili powders are also made from chiles that are harvested and processed fresh daily. Our products consist of pure chile, we add no water, preservatives or additives. The flavor of the New Mexico chiles cannot be beat when compared to other varieties used today. One thing that helps our product stand out is our seed stock. We produce our own seed for planting. All of our seed is Certified by the NM Crop Improvement Association guaranteeing that it is what we say it is. Our seed program allows us to maintain the characteristics of our chiles: New Mexico 6-4, NuMex Joe E. Parker, NuMex Big Jim, NuMex Sandia and the two new released varieties NuMex Heritage Big Jim & NuMex Heritage 6-4. The Heritage varieties are the ORIGINAL strain of green chile from the 1960’s with five times the flavor of commercially produced chile. These are the best, most favorable chiles in the world.
Gentle Roasting
Our gentle style of flame roasting has taken over 30 years to perfect. This unique method gently handles the chile from the time they are hand placed in the roaster to being flame roasted at high temperatures and being conveyed out of the roaster and into the packing room. These roasters do not tumble them, tear them or over burn them. Most importantly, this gentle roasting sets our product apart because it brings out the rich flavors that New Mexico chiles have. We do not use any tumbling method or steam to roast any of our product. Stop by and see the roasters in action or watch it on the YouTube link below.
