Pepper Farms Busy As U S Eats Chili
Pepper growers in the Southwest prosper as Americans eat chili con carne. A Dehydrating plant near Las Cruces produced forty thousand pounds of dried chili from two hundred thousand pounds of peppers. The drying process uses six days to convert five pounds of picked peppers into one pound of dried chili. Peppers on 500 to 600 pound trays enter kilns at 140 degrees, then gradually cool to dry. Dried chili moves to sacks and is pressed into 180 pound oblong bales for market.
