Should you refreeze your New Mexico chiles? Probably not. Refreezing produce that has already been frozen and thawed once can do a lot of damage to its flavor and texture. We really don’t recommend it. – Question Submitted by Vivian Post your comment here:8 Responses to “Can I defrost green New Mexico chilies and refreeze them after three days?” |

I’m not worried about the flavor it will be fine. Will the chike be safe to eat if refrozen?

We think so, but couldn’t say for sure – how the chilies were stored while thawed (and for how long) might be a factor.

Green chilies were shipped on dry ice from New Mexico. Due to Easter holiday, delivery was delayed two days. Chilies were completely thawed when they arrived. Thought about blanching them and re-freezing. Will that work or be too dangerous to eat?

I’m not sure. Have you contacted the person who sold you the frozen chilies? They might have a better idea of their safety. I can tell you that re-freezing is likely to damage their texture.

Our cafeteria lady had told me if the green Chile is not completely thawed out it was still OK to refreeze. We took some to New York and they didn’t completely thaw so my son refroze them and were fine. Now we going to Florida but have to stop in Houston , do you think same rule will apply, will take longer like from 11 to 11?
