The Process

At our company, we take pride in using advanced freeze-drying technology to preserve the vibrant flavor and rich nutrients of our green chiles. Here's how we do it:

1. Selection: We start by hand-peeling the finest green chiles, ensuring each one is at its peak ripeness for maximum flavor and nutritional value.

2. Freezing: The green chiles are placed in a vacuum chamber and quickly frozen to extremely low temperatures. This step locks in the natural flavors, colors, and nutrients, effectively pausing the aging process.

3. Vacuum: This environment reduces the pressure around the chiles, which is essential for the next phase.

4. Sublimation: In the vacuum chamber, the temperature is slightly increased, causing the ice within the chiles to transition directly from a solid to a vapor without passing through the liquid stage. This process, known as sublimation, removes the water content while preserving the cell structure of the chiles.

5. Drying: After sublimation, the chiles undergo secondary drying to remove any residual moisture. This step ensures the chiles are perfectly crisp and ready for long-term storage without the need for preservatives.

6. Packaging: Finally, the freeze-dried green chiles are carefully packaged in vacuum sealed bags. This packaging maintains their freshness, allowing you to enjoy their bold flavor and nutritional benefits whenever you choose. 

This meticulous process guarantees that our freeze-dried green chiles retain their original taste, color, and nutritional value. Perfect for adding a burst of flavor to your meals, our freeze-dried chiles are a versatile ingredient that brings the authentic taste of New Mexico to your kitchen.
