The Santa Fe Grande pepper, also known as the Yellow Hot Chili or Guero Chili, is a cultivar of the New Mexico chile pepper, celebrated for its vibrant color transition from pale yellow to bright orange or fiery red as it matures. Originating in the Southwestern United States, this pepper is noted for its mild to medium heat, with a typical Scoville rating of 500 to 999 SHU, making it significantly milder than peppers like jalapeños. Its flavor profile includes sweetness with a hint of smokiness, which makes it popular not just for culinary uses but also for ornamental purposes. Historically, these peppers have been a staple in Southwestern cuisine, reflecting both their cultural significance and culinary versatility in the region.
