Pepper Seeds - Hot Pepper - NuMex Heritage 6-4
Description
NuMex Heritage 6-4 is the classic New Mexico green chile refined for flavor and uniformity. Reselected at New Mexico State University, this Capsicum annuum variety is a Sweet pepper with gentle warmth, bright green-chile aroma, and a clean, lightly sweet finish that fits everyday cooking.
Plants are sturdy and productive, typically 2–3 feet tall with an upright, branching habit that loads stems with fruit. Pods are long and smooth, usually 6–8 inches, with broad shoulders, a graceful taper, and a blunt tip. Thick walls blister and peel beautifully when roasted. Harvest green for the signature New Mexico flavor, or let pods ripen to deep red for drying into mild, richly colored flakes and powders.
On the palate, NuMex Heritage 6-4 offers classic green-chile character: fresh green notes, mild sweetness, and soft heat in the low thousands of Scoville units. The warmth lifts a dish without overpowering it. It is ideal for roasting, stuffing, and slicing into enchiladas, green chile stew, burgers, breakfast eggs, and any recipe that calls for roasted green chile.
In the pantry, the uniform shape and thicker flesh make processing easy. Roast, sweat, and peel, then freeze in strips, chop for salsas, or dry red pods for a smooth, pleasantly sweet chile powder. Reliable yields, easy peeling, and consistent pods make NuMex Heritage 6-4 a dependable workhorse for both backyard cooks and serious chile fans.
