Green Anaheim chile peppers received national recognition as one of the first canned products to have been developed in California in the late 19th century. Farmer Emilio Ortega was enthralled by the mild flavor of the Green Anaheim chile peppers and brought seeds from New Mexico to begin cultivation of the pepper in his home garden in Southern California. In 1894 he learned how to fire roast and preserve the peppers in canned form, and developed the first commercial food company in Anaheim, California, known as The Ortega Chile Packaging Company. When grown in the Southern California climate, Green Anaheim chile peppers are milder in flavor than their New Mexico counterparts and are favored for their tender consistency. Green Anaheim chile peppers are still canned under the Ortega name today, and the company has expanded to include salsas, beans, and seasonings for Latin cuisine.
Green Anaheim chile peppers are native to New Mexico where they were believed to be developed from a local chile cultivar known as No. 9 at New Mexico State University by Dr. Fabian Garcia. The peppers were intentionally bred to have thicker flesh with a milder flavor. In 1894, Emilio Ortega encountered the peppers in New Mexico and brought them back to his home garden in southern California where he eventually used the peppers in commercial canning. Today Green Anaheim chile peppers are cultivated in hot and dry climates throughout the United States and can be found at specialty grocers and local markets.
