Buying frozen green chili for sauces and foodservice
Green chili is bought for heat and for the cut. Rings are the format most kitchens want, because they go straight into sauces, pizza, pickles and ready meals with no further handling and spread the heat evenly through the batch. Egyptian chili is harvested from May to October and quick frozen after cutting, so the rings stay separate and keep their colour instead of going dull and soft. Ring thickness, whole pods and the heat level you need are agreed per order.
