Further InformationEdit Edit

Emilio Ortega brought New Mexico chile seeds to Anaheim, California around 1894, founding the canned chile industry. The variety became associated with Anaheim even though it's just a New Mexico type grown in California. Mild (500–2,500 SHU). The Ortega brand you see in grocery stores traces directly back to this origin.
