The NuMex R Naky chile is an Anaheim-type hybrid created by Dr. Nakayama of New Mexico State University in 1985. It comes from the mix of the Rio Grande 21 pepper, the New Mexico 6-4, and a Bulgarian paprika. The fruit grows to 5-6 inches and has a mild flavor. In comparison, the New Mex R Naky produces significantly more volume per acre than the New Mexico 6-4, and has a brighter red color. They grow best in hot, dry climates. They are great for stuffing or roasting, and they are often used as a paprika cultivar in New Mexico. Learn more about Hatch Chile varieties below.
