Pueblo Green Chile: A Pepper Unique to Southern Colorado
Capsicum annuum
FROM: PULLUPYOURPLANTS.COM
In any given bushel of Pueblo green chili peppers, you are bound to find a random pepper that will burn your face off. When publishing an article about Pueblo Green chilies — especially the regionally specific dish made with it, green chili — you can bet your bikinis that somebody is going to be randomly furious about something you’ve said, how you’ve spelled it, or even who the blank you think you are for writing about it. After all, where pride burns hottest, war is inevitable.
The narrator tears off his shirt revealing a heaving castle of research musculature and grunts,
“let’s roll, punks!”
The truth is, this introduction is being written at absolute zero. Right now, we are chile charlatans… pepper pretenders. We may know that the fragrance of roasting Pueblo Green Chilies was probably intended for Heaven alone, and that Green Chili is delicious, but that’s about all we know.
Well, it is time for that to change.
We are on a mission, Traveller! Buildings are exploding behind us. Our clothing is tattered. We are strutting forward in 0.25 times normal speed from ignorance to bliss. That one song by Golden Earring is blasting for some reason (can you turn that down? I’m trying to write.).
It’s time for answers, so let us start the interrogation.
What is the history of the Pueblo Green Chile?
Who is responsible for breeding the Pueblo Green Chile?
How Have Chili Peppers Been Used Medicinally?
Who farms Pueblo Green Chilies?
Who is selling Pueblo Green Chilies and derivative products online?
ANSWER US!!!!
*Our high five claps like thunder
Well, be prepared to step into the Twilight Zone, Traveller. Not only are we about to “interrogate” the farmers, hot sauce makers, and other characters involved, we are about to learn from the CREATOR of the Pueblo Green Chile himself: The Don… Dr. Mike Bartolo.
