PHOENIX, AZ - Interest in spicy foods has skyrocketed, creating an opportune moment for seasonal Hatch Chiles to shine in the limelight. Sprouts Farmers Market recently announced fresh Hatch Chiles are now available nationwide in its stores, along with Hatch flavored Sprouts Brand products on shelves.
“Sprouts’ Our Brand products combine seasonal inspiration from fresh produce with unique flavors and innovative recipes to offer a truly memorable eating experience that shoppers return to our stores for again and again,” said Jac Ross, Vice President of Our Brands.
Named after the original growing area in Hatch, New Mexico, authentic Hatch Chiles have a meaty flesh with varying heat levels, noted the retailer’s release.
