Where do you get your peppers?

[imaguitargod]

Just looking for vendors of peppers (dried), where do you guys go to get your pepper for sale?

We use only fresh peppers. As for dried I guess it would depend on what type you are looking for.
I'm sure there has to be a vendor out around LALA land. That has dried chiles.

man, that little dude does EVERYTHING....i gotta get me one of those...

As for the question at hand, i usually get them at the farmer's markets here(and i'm spending a fortune in the process)

I've started drying some in the oven the way Chuk told me to, and it's working like a charm(just takes a long ass time)

Expensive. In bulk, International Food Source has dried orange Habs for about $8-9 per pound. Considering dried ones are 1/10th the weight of fresh, that's roughly 10 lbs for $8-9.

I shot an e-mail off to Peter Piper. He should be getting back to you soon! You do want 'em pickled, right?

LOL, nope, no pickled.

Look up produce wholesalers.

 

[darthcarl]

ask the guys at your favorite restaurant who the produce vendor is. chances are in LA that it's US Food. you'll have to have a business adress for them to deliver.

El Guapo is a spice vendor in LA that does a lot of dried peppers. Their competition is Mondando or something like that.
El Guapo is 6200 e slauson ave. in LA.

And just this week I found Penzey spices. It's a spice storefront franchise. wierd but I picked up some stuff I have paid too much for otherwise and I paid too much for salt, but I love fancy salts. http://www.penzeys.com/

I'm still buying them from the bulk dried pepper bins of my local mexican grocery.

 

[imaguitargod]

Thanks for the LA connection Carl, I've actually heard of El Guapo...wait...El Guapo, El Guapo....isn't that the villian in The Three Amigos?

LOL! I just picked up some smoked salt! That stuff is NOT cheap!

What about fresh peppers? I know...look up produce suppliers, right?

 

[setzuanfire]

Hey, Devil Duck, if you can't find any suppliers in Albq., try Cruces, there's big-time chile 'sheds' down there. There and Hatch-Rincon.

Where do you get your Red Savina Dried Pods from? If anyone gets them.. I am curious

 

[DevilDuck]

Ok...

But...What if I'm looking for ripe serranos, not green ones? I don't think I can grow enough myself. By the time the green serrano peppers get ripe, they're 1/2 dried out.

...call me a newbie.
