Each bag delivers the earthy, smoky, complex flavor that has made Hatch chiles one of the most sought-after peppers in the Southwest. Melissa's Hatch Pepper Popcorn Sampler is ideal for chile lovers, snack spreads, camping, picnics, and game-day festivities. Extend Hatch season one delicious bag at a time.    Hatch chiles are grown in New Mexico's Hatch Valley, just north of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande's southernmost bend before it crosses into Texas and Mexico. Through the summer, the valley fills with row after row of green leafy pepper plants, which are harvested, roasted, and packaged at peak flavor. This growing region is what gives Hatch chiles their distinctive character, and it's that same authentic Hatch pepper flavor that defines every bag in Melissa's Hatch Pepper Popcorn Sampler. All three popcorn flavors are cooked in avocado oil, chosen for its high smoke point and neutral flavor. That means what comes through in every bite is the nutty, toasty corn kernel and the bright, bold taste of the Hatch pepper seasoning.
