New Mexico Chile Seeds from Hatch NM | Hot Sandia Features
-
SANDIA: You get 22 medium-hot chile seeds from Hatch, New Mexico. A non-GMO heritage variety introduced in 1956 yields a bumper crop of 6-8 inch peppers.

-
MICRO-SEEDVAULT: Seeds are delicate living things that were not designed for the rigors of e-commerce. Your seeds are packed in a reusable/recyclable screw top aluminum container that protects them through the dangers of the delivery process; plane flights, truck rides, conveyor belts, and the icy grip of a robot’s claw. Your seeds should arrive safe and happy, just as they were packed in Tularosa, New Mexico.
-
NO PLASTIC: Call us “old school”, but our seeds are never shipped, stored, or packed in plastic to avoid exposure to off-gassing compounds. Your seeds are packed into the food-grade aluminum Micro-Seedvault with 100% organic, chemical free cotton which keeps them stable, absorbs ambient moisture, and provides some protection from thermal shock. All of the product packaging is compostable, recyclable and/or reusable.
-
WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK: New Mexico chile seeds are the only thing we sell. That’s our passion and we want you to have a successful harvest. To help, we’ve placed QR codes on the packaging and the Micro-Seedvault that take you directly to our website. There, you will have all the information you need to germinate and grow healthy plants, harvest and process your crop (roast green chilies and dry red chilies), and prepare authentic New Mexican recipes using your fresh chiles.
-
Seeds are viable for 2-3+ years if stored in the Micro-Seedvault in a cool (temperature wise) location.
About New Mexico Chile Seeds From Hatch NM | Hot Sandia
Sandia is one of the older varieties of chili that is grown in New Mexico, a true heritage variety. The original commercial chile called New Mexico #9 was developed by Fabian Garcia in 1913. Dr. Roy Harper of New Mexico State University developed the Sandia variety by crossing the #9 with an Anaheim-type in the mid 1950s. Sandia is a hot variety of the New Mexico chile lines with a distinctly New Mexico green chile flavor. While in the fresh stage of maturity (and after drying), the peppers retain their high pungency level. This variety has been passed down for generations by New Mexicans and hot chile lovers the world over.
