Did you know...
Anaheim chiles actually originated in New Mexico. According to pepper legend, around 1896, New Mexico rancher Emilio Ortega brought these chile seeds to Anaheim to plant and sell. The mild green peppers adapted well to our Southern California soil and climate, and soon everyone was referring to Ortega's peppers as Anaheim chiles. The name stuck, and here on the West Coast the Anaheim pepper rules the roost.
