My husband is a connoisseur of extremely hot peppers. I, however, am something of a hot pepper wimp. I like jalapenos and peppers around that range, but these peppers are milder than that. These are my favorite "hot" peppers, as they have a bite to them, but they are still mild enough to slice onto a salad or sandwich. They give you a little burn, without bringing you to tears! These are much thicker walled than many of the horn-shaped peppers, rivaling or even exceeding the thickness of a bell pepper, though they are both shorter and narrower than a bell.

My plants are generally loaded with peppers. Pick them green if you like the heat, or let them mellow to red if you prefer a milder, fruitier level of heat. Either way, these little guys are delicious!
