NuMex XX Hot (New Mex XX Hot)

Also known as New Mex XX Hot · XX Hot

NuMex XX Hot is a slim New Mexican-type chile name that appears on pepper websites as a Chile Pepper Institute release. New Mexico State University's official cultivar circular for 1913 to 2022 does not list it.

Fruit size

8–13 cm

Culinary Use

Thin-walled pods in the circulating description would suit dryingflakesand sauce more than stuffing.

About

The pages that use this name describe a slender pod about 3 to 5 inches long, with thin walls and smooth skin. No seed packet, release notice, or lab sheet was found under the exact name, so flavor and kitchen use stay thin here. Growers looking for a real extra-hot New Mexican pod will need another named cultivar.

Backstory

The NuMex prefix marks cultivars released by New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Hobby sites credit the Chile Pepper Institute for this name and repeat the same unsourced paragraph. The university's own cultivar lists covering 1913 through 2022 omit it, and no HortScience release names a breeder or year.
