Description
The NuMex Sweet is a virtually heatless New Mexico-type chile pepper developed at New Mexico State University producing long tapered pods with exceptional sweetness and minimal heat of only 200-300 SHU making it accessible to consumers sensitive to spice. Retaining the classic New Mexican chile appearance and flavor characteristics without pungency it can be roasted stuffed and used in traditional New Mexican dishes by those who prefer a mild experience. Its sweet clean flavor and familiar New Mexico chile pod shape bridge the gap between sweet bell peppers and traditional green chiles.
