CHIMAYO – 65 days, Open-pollinated, 4,000 – 6000 SHU, Capsicum anuum
A famous heirloom New Mexico chile. Medium hot, thin skinned and easy to dry 3-5” long fruit are probably the earliest Southwestern chile to ripen to red; makes some of the best tasting chile powder. Since it is not too hot, you can use it in large quantities and achieve flavor nirvana without running for the fire extinguisher; on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste
