The Albuquerque International Association will host a public talk by Dr. Stephanie Walker, Extension Vegetable Specialist with New Mexico State University where she helps vegetable growers to enhance sustainability and profitability of vegetable production in New Mexico.
Synopsis: New Mexicans love chilies, but do we know everything about them? Chile peppers, members of the genus Capsicum, are native to the New World. After discovery of the crop by European explorers, chile peppers spread around the globe, were embraced by many disparate populations and incorporated into local cuisines. Different regions preferred different heat profiles and flavors, and specific preferences led to selection of unique varieties that contribute to the incredible diversity we see in chile peppers today. Stephanie Walker will explore the unique varieties of chile peppers grown in New Mexico and around the world.
