Canned green chiles are pre-roasted, peeled, and diced green chile you can spoon straight into a recipe. Our Hatch version comes jarred and flash-frozen instead of canned - the same ready-to-use diced and whole green chile, made from real Hatch Valley chile rather than generic peppers, with no metallic can taste. Here is every ready-to-use Hatch green chile we make, from jarred chopped chile to frozen whole pods.
If a recipe calls for "a can of green chiles," reach for our jarred Chopped Hatch Chile or frozen diced chile - one jar replaces a can, with deeper roasted flavor. Mild through hot, grown and roasted on our family farm in Hatch, New Mexico.
Quick answer: Canned green chiles are pre-roasted, diced green chile ready to cook with. Hatch Chile Store sells the real Hatch Valley version jarred and flash-frozen instead of canned - diced and whole, mild to hot, shipped nationwide. One jar replaces a standard can of green chiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell canned green chiles?
We sell the real Hatch alternative to canned green chiles: jarred chopped Hatch chile and flash-frozen diced and whole green chile. Same ready-to-use convenience, made from authentic Hatch Valley chile instead of generic peppers, with no can taste.
How does a jar compare to a can of green chiles?
A standard 4 oz can of green chiles is about a half cup. One jar of our chopped Hatch chile covers roughly two to three cans, and the flavor is deeper because it is real fire-roasted Hatch chile.
Are these green chiles already roasted and peeled?
Yes. Our chopped and diced Hatch chile is fire-roasted and peeled, ready to stir straight into any recipe with no prep needed.
Mild, medium, or hot?
Most ready-to-use Hatch green chile comes in mild, medium, and hot. Mild is family-friendly, medium is the New Mexico default, and hot is real heat. When in doubt, start medium.
How is it shipped?
Jarred and freeze-dried chile is shelf-stable and ships year-round. Frozen Hatch chile ships on dry ice, Monday through Wednesday, so it arrives frozen and never sits in a weekend warehouse.
What can I substitute for canned green chiles?
Jarred or frozen chopped Hatch chile is the closest one-to-one substitute for canned green chiles. Fresh-roasted Hatch green chile, peeled and chopped, works in any recipe, and roasted poblano is the nearest grocery-store stand-in - milder and less complex. Skip raw bell pepper, which loses the roasted flavor.
What is the difference between diced green chiles and diced tomatoes with green chiles?
Diced green chiles are just roasted, peeled chile - pure flavor and heat. Diced tomatoes with green chiles add tomato and salt, so they are wetter and milder. For more control, stir drained diced tomatoes into our chopped Hatch chile to make a fresher-tasting version yourself.
Can you can or freeze green chiles at home?
Yes. Roasted Hatch chile freezes beautifully for about a year - just bag it, skins on. Home canning is possible, but green chile is low-acid, so it needs a pressure canner rather than a water bath. For shelf-stable convenience without the work, our jarred and freeze-dried Hatch chile is ready to use.

Astounding! I absolutely can't believe the night and day difference between this product and the lackluster flavor of what I have been buying in cans from my grocery. I wasn't prepared for the smoky intensity of these freshly roasted jarred chilies. Honestly, a spoonful tossed with some cheese and ranchero sauce in a tortilla could turn me vegetarian. And wait until you top a burger with it!Brian C · Verified

I live an hour north of Pueblo, CO. I know my fellow Coloradians will disown me for this review, but damn this chili is legit. Not to mention this company makes sure you are happy. My chili showed up thawed out due to a UPS delay. They reached out to me and sent a replacement order immediately. Chili great. Customer service even better!Jeffrey A · Verified

My husband loves Hatch Pure Green Chile roast. He puts it in stew, soups, on burgers, spagetti, sandwiches and even in creamy salad dressings. His variety of choice is HOT. We've gifted some to my nephew also and his family also loves it. I prefer medium, but it sells out fast.Roscoe S · Verified

We know you're wondering.
Hatch Chile is a protected regional designation — like Champagne or Vidalia onions — for chile grown exclusively in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and 40-degree temperature swings between day and night produce 23% more flavor compounds than chile grown elsewhere. Most "green chile" in grocery stores is Anaheim — a milder, less complex pepper mass-produced in California or Mexico. All of our products are Hatch Chile Association certified, meaning they were grown in the Hatch Valley, not relabeled from another region.
All frozen products ship Tuesdays and Wednesdays in insulated, recyclable containers packed with dry ice. We ship from distribution centers in both New Jersey and California so ground shipping reaches most U.S. addresses in 1–5 business days — no matter where you live. Overnight shipping is available during warmer months. Fresh chile (available July–October) ships same-day on Wednesdays, arriving within 24 hours of harvest.
Medium is our most popular heat level and what we recommend for first-timers — it has a pleasant, building warmth that lets you taste the signature smoky-sweet Hatch flavor without overwhelming heat. Mild is perfect for kids, spice-sensitive palates, or dishes like rellenos where you want flavor without the kick. Hot delivers the classic New Mexican heat that restaurants in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are known for. X-Hot is for serious heat seekers only. When in doubt, start Medium — you can always go hotter next time.
Roasted frozen Hatch chile lasts 12+ months at 0°F without significant quality loss — this is how most New Mexicans stockpile their annual supply and enjoy Hatch chile year-round. We recommend portioning into meal-sized bags and pressing out as much air as possible before freezing. Our jarred sauces, salsas, and dried products like red chile pods and powders are shelf-stable for 12–18 months in your pantry.

Mix and match anything within each collection — the more you stock, the more you save.
Every product we sell is Hatch Chile Association certified — your guarantee that the chile was grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, not Anaheim or imported chile relabeled under the Hatch name. Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in the region. Five generations later, we still farm 300+ acres and grow 10+ cultivar varieties including Big Jim, Sandia Select, and Lumbre. Over 500,000 customers and 12,000+ verified 5-star reviews — you're buying from the source.
