Melissa’s Announces Green & Red Hatch Pepper Pecans

Los Angeles, California – The Hatch chile pepper, grown exclusively in the Mesilla Valley near Hatch, New Mexico, is considered to be one of the most flavorful peppers in the world. Green Hatch Powder is made from Hatch peppers that are picked, dried and ground when the peppers are still green with a light, zesty-fresh flavor! Red Hatch Powder is made from the fully ripened pepper so it has a more intense, spicy taste.

A one-ounce serving of pecans (approximately 20 halves) contains 19 vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, potassium and zinc. Pecans, like all nuts, are also a good source of protein. This naturally healthy snack food can now be enjoyed laced with either Melissa’s Red or Green Hatch Chile Powders. As equally addicting as they are healthy!
