Red Jalapeño and Smoked Chipotle are back in stock! One interesting trend we’re noticing in 2025: value-sized containers are becoming more popular with our customers. Folks are starting to cook more and eat in, stocking up on their favorites in larger quantities. Both chilis are medium-hot with fruity notes, lending a seductive heat to DIY grill seasoning or when sprinkled over creamy dips. Smoked Chipotle blooms beautifully in burgers and Red Jalapeño​ has a bright pop of color that makes it a pretty topping spice. Some folks wrote in asking why these weren't included in our Chili March Madness bracket a few weeks ago and it's because this latest harvest was still en route to us from @firetonguefarms in California. Vine-ripened to maturity to maximize fruity sugar content for layered heat and flavor, good things can't be rushed! They're grown by partner farmers Ryan and Levon who specialize in over 20 pepper varieties of all shapes and sizes, pairing each chili with the perfect microclimate: cool, foggy coastal Santa Cruz for the sweeter, milder chilis, Mediterranean-esque San Juan Valley for medium-heats, hot inland Capay Valley for the spiciest cultivars. We've been partnering with Ryan and Levon for over 5 years and can't wait to keep bringing in California heat for many more. Keep an eye out for a potentially very limited superhot drop in the coming months!
