🌶💚 DID YOU KNOW HATCH CHILES AND ANAHEIM PEPPERS ARE BORN FROM THE SAME SEEDS? 💚🌶 It's true! Hatch Chiles were brought to California and given the name Anaheim by a farmer named Emilo Ortega (Yes, that Ortega!) While Hatch and Anaheims are basically the same, they don't quite taste the same. Just like Champagne can only be made from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France...Hatch Chiles can only be grown in the Hatch region of New Mexico. Hence the name Anaheim Peppers for the ones grown in Southern California! And just like wines made from grapes grown in different regions, each pepper has its own variations in taste because of the climate, soil, and environment it is grown in! Here at Tanaka Farms we are in the middle of a great Anaheim Pepper harvest so make sure to get down here and grab some of these LOCAL favorites before the season ends! #californiagrown #local #eatyourvegetables #oc #irvine #farm #whosyourfarmer #farmlife #farmtotable #farmtofork #tanakafarms #nongmo #supportlocal #shopsmall #supportsmallbusiness #anaheimpeppers
