Much ado about nothing. I love chilies and eat about 20 Thai chilies a day, in fact I cannot enjoy a meal without a bite of Thai chilies with every bite of food; my taste buds are gone. Hatch chilies are nothing more than Anaheim chilies grown in Hatch, New Mexico. Their “heat” is measured in Scoville units, but their “heat” is dependent on a number of factors including how much sun they get, age, variety of seed and others. Enjoy your chilies.

I knew it. They look exactly like Anaheims. I do the same thing and I probably eat 10-20 hot peppers per day with every meal. I even add them on peanut butter and toast with honey. Every rice dish gets hot peppers. I have grown Anaheims before and stopped because they are NOT HOT ENOUGH.

They are Big Jims. They grow some Anaheims there, but Big Jims are the big deal.

STOP watering them a week before you pick them. The longer they go without water the hotter they become.
