Fresh • Blanched • Fire Roasted
Spicy • Vibrant • Flavorful
Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) authentic Mexican chile peppers and tomatillos are perfect for frozen meal applications, such as pizzas, skillet meals, airline meals, salsas, sauces, burritos, and more.
Our chile peppers and tomatillos are pure and characteristically pungent, without added colors, flavors, or added ingredients.
Fresh Items: Picked at their peak, cut, and individually quick frozen.
Steam-peeled items: Culinary Farms only uses natural steam peeling, which is easier on both the environment and the food product. Many other processors choose to peel their products using a money-saving lye bath process.
Fire-roasted items: Natural fire roasting adds complexity and roasted notes to chiles and tomatillos. It also adds the perception of a meal cooked on the grill, both in taste and appearance.
