Is green chile spicy? ›

The answer is yes, green chile sauce can be spicy, but it depends on the chiles used in the sauce. Green chile peppers come in many varieties, each with their own distinct amount of heat. Some will be mild, but others are very intense, so ask whoever is serving you the chile sauce about the heat level*.

What is the difference between New Mexico chili and California chili? ›

New Mexico chiles have an earthy, sweet flavor with hints of acidity, weediness and dried cherry undertones. They are often confused with their close relative the Anaheim chile (or California chile) but are a bit hotter at 800-1,400 SHU and more flavorful than the California chiles.

Are poblano and Hatch chile the same? ›
