Description
The NuMex Sunrise is a New Mexico-type chile pepper developed at New Mexico State University in 1988 by Dr. Paul Bosland distinguished by its long tapered pods that mature to a vibrant yellow rather than the traditional red making it visually striking in fresh markets and ornamental ristras. With mild heat and a slightly sweet clean flavor it is used fresh roasted and dried and adds a sunny yellow element to the traditional red and green palette of New Mexican cuisine. Its distinctive color and reliable yields make it a popular variety for both commercial growers and home gardeners seeking color diversity.
