By cycadjungle | How do you know whether pepper is seriously hot or not if you don't know what it is just by looking at it? Here is a tutorial for people who have never seen these peppers and don't know their names. Also a little bit about how they vary in heat.

I enjoyed reading this article and it was put together nicely. I love heat in my food, but I can't imagine eating these hot peppers! I didn't know that bumpier means hotter. Thanks for the information.  Vickie May all your weeds be wildflowers. ~Author Unknown |

Good article, Tom! I know jalapenos aren't the super-hots that you favor, but do you know if the "corking" they develop on their skin has any relation to how hot the individual peppers are? The ones I grow seem to have a LOT of variation in the amount of heat, even from the same plant -- from really mild to YIKES!

| yes... nice article... I have dozens of the Carolina Reapers going now... all with masses of peppers...wish I knew someone near by to share them with...I already have more hot sauce than I could ever use... I might try making some pepper spray out of them... they are frightfully hot as you know.. a great producer.. and a strong grower...mine get dried out to the point of wilting... then after a watering they stand tall ... filled out again.. as if nothing had happened...great article on the rough bumpy textures of their skins being a heat guage... although with the reapers... if one was 1/2 as hot as another ... you couldn't tell the difference |
