CHILES, CHILE PEPPERS

The official state vegetables of New Mexico are the chile and Frijoles (pinto beans).

Hatch, New Mexico is known as the "Green Chile capital of the World".

Texas has 2 official peppers, the jalapeno and the chiltepin (both used in its official dish, chili)

The seeds are NOT the hottest part of peppers. It is at the point where the seed is attached to the white membrane inside the pepper that the highest concentration of capsaicin (the compound giving peppers their pungent flavor) is found.
