There's an interesting article about a new method of dehydrating green chiles in the May/June issue of Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine. The company doing it is located in Las Cruces NM. Their website is http://www.instantchile.com. I sent them an e-mail to find out how many chiles constitute an ounce which sells for $7.50 and they replied approximately five. Pricey but a way to easily get them to faraway places. Dave TLCC
