Uses:

Consisting of six California Dried Chiles (flavor - mild to hot) and six New Mexico Dried Chiles (flavor - medium to very hot), Melissa’s Dried New Mexico Chiles, available in 12/2 oz. or 12/3 oz. units, have become one of the most popular packs sold on the market today. Generally rehydrated before use, Melissa’s Dried New Mexico Chiles are preferred for use in sauces, soups and stews. In their dry form, these chiles are also used to make decorative wreaths and strings (ristras). Melissa’s Dried New Mexico Chiles, sold under the Don Enrique label (Melissa’s own line of Latin items), have a more distinctive taste than the same versions sold fresh since the process of drying chiles also brings out their flavor.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa’s Dried New Mexico Chiles are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose whole, unbroken chiles with deep color and a fresh scent. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place for up to six months or more.
