NuMex Sandia peppers, meticulously developed at New Mexico State University, exemplify the sophisticated balance between accessible heat and exceptional flavor that defines premium chili cultivation. These heirloom peppers deliver a refined medium heat ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 Scoville Heat Units—substantial enough to provide noticeable warmth without overwhelming delicate palates—while showcasing a rich, nuanced flavor profile that enhances diverse culinary applications. The elongated fruits mature to brilliant red, offering both visual distinction and culinary versatility for roasting, stuffing, sautéing, or incorporating into sauces and salsas. This reliable, easy-growing variety thrives across multiple cultivation methods, performing consistently in traditional garden plots, raised beds, and controlled greenhouse environments. The vigorous plants mature in approximately 80 days with an impressive germination rate of 80% or higher, ensuring dependable establishment and abundant harvests season after season. NuMex Sandia represents an ideal choice for gardeners seeking the authentic character of New Mexico chili peppers without the intensity of super-hot varieties, delivering genuine depth and warmth to traditional and contemporary dishes alike. David's Garden Seeds® provides these authentic Non-GMO heirloom seeds in sustainable, eco-friendly packaging, honoring both the agricultural heritage of this distinguished university-developed variety and our commitment to environmental stewardship for conscientious gardeners.
