Joe Parker/MacheteUpdated 2 years ago

Machete and Joe Parker are fabulous varieties for people who are new to Hatch Green Chile. These varieties are straight mild with little to no heat level variance and a small kick. If you want a real kick, you should definitely opt for our Medium (Big Jim/Charger). Joe Parker and Machete are slightly smaller varieties than our Big Jim and Charger, but they don't have large heat level variances like Big Jim and Charger. Joe Parker or Machete are the perfect variety if you want a little more heat than a normal pepper but still like some spice. It's also the easiest variety to peel after roasting.

Joe Parker and Machete tend to get hotter as the season rolls on, so if you want a heartier heat, please request that we ship your order towards the end of the season. Joe Parker and Machete typically yields consistent pods between 5-8 inches long, making it a great choice for chile rellenos (technically chiles relleno if you want to be picky about your Spanish grammar).
