Pepper List 2020 Pepper List 2020 We carry an excellent selection of locally-grown sweet and hot peppers. Peppers are a fun challenge for Pacific Northwest gardeners, and can be very rewarding. With so many colors, shapes, and flavors to choose from, some gardeners like to try at least one new variety each year. Growing Peppers The key to success with peppers is maximizing sunlight and heat. Pepper plants should be kept indoors or in greenhouses until nighttime temperatures are above 50-60°F. Even then, they benefit from additional protection. Try building a high tunnel out of clear plastic, or plant them in containers near a south or west-facing wall that reflects heat. Peppers can thrive in raised beds or containers, provided that they are in a full-sun location and well-fertilized. For container planting, use potting soil with added organic fertilizer. In raised beds, use rich, well-drained soil and organic fertilizer. Whether growing in the ground or in containers, water thoroughly rather than often. Let the soil dry to about 1-2 inches down before watering. To produce the spiciest and most flavorful hot peppers, provide the warmest soil and air temperatures possible and withhold water once the fruit begins to ripen. Our Pepper Varieties Several of the listings below are popular categories rather than specific varieties. You’ll see the phrase, “rotating selection” beneath these lines. The particular varieties will depend on weekly availability from our local growers, but we’ll keep a selection of these classic favorites in stock. Other listings are diverse heirloom varieties, each with their own unique qualities. Many of these varieties come with deep traditions and stories, and we encourage interested gardeners to learn more about any heirlooms they decide to grow. We may temporarily run out of certain varieties. Rest assured that if it’s on the list, we’ll typically have it back in stock within a week. Please give us a call back midweek if you can’t find your favorite listed variety. If you’re looking for a variety that isn’t listed, let us know. Terminology Open-pollinated varieties will “come true” – saved seeds will be like their parents. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated varieties that have been passed down through several generations. Hybrids are crosses between two or more varieties (not to be confused with GMOs), the seeds of which will produce unpredictable results if saved and replanted. Scoville units are an estimate of spiciness. Outcomes vary widely due to growing conditions. Up to 2,500 is considered mild, 2,500-30,000 is medium, and over 30,000 is hot to very hot. The numbers listed under “harvest” are an estimate of the number of days between transplanting a young plant and the first harvest. Outcomes can vary depending on growing conditions.

  • Caution, These Peppers Bite
    The Washington Post - Food Caution, these peppers bite Food writer Tim Carman brings a peck of potent peppers for Post staffers to pick on. And fortunately he brings milk, too. By Tim Carman The Washington Post Published: October 30, 2012 The bright red pepper has a shriveled appearance, as if a bulbous clown nose had somehow wilted into a long, twisted witch’s beak. Between its wrinkly complexion and its nasty reputation, the Bhut Jolokia, better known as the ghost pepper, generates fear and fascination. YouTube is littered with videos of bros pumped up enough to eat a whole one — only to crumple to the floor, pounding down milk. When I cut into my first ghost pepper recently — while wearing food-safe gloves, at the urging of practically everyone who has an opinion on the subject — I was first struck by the aroma. My kitchen was filled with the sweet, tropical fragrance of passion fruit. You quickly learn that the aroma is a trap, designed to entice the innocent and ignorant into tasting the pepper. You will almost certainly regret any attempt to eat the fiery fruit straight up, with seeds and ribs. Ghost Peppers 1 of 4 October 31, 2012 The Washington Post - Food (Deb Lindsey/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) - Hot peppers left to right: Jamaican Hot Chocolate, Naga Bhut Jolokia (aka ghost pepper), Fatalii and Hot Mama (yellows) Dorset Naga Jolokia, Caribbean Red. I tried a small seedless dice of the pepper, approximately the size of a pea, and within seconds, my right eye was streaming tears down my cheek, my nostrils were dripping and, worst of all, I began to hiccup uncontrollably.

Gerard Chargualaf and Mari Marutani, Cooperative Extension & Outreach College of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Guam Most Capsicum peppers are known for their spicy heat. Some varieties have little to no spice such as paprika, banana peppers, and bell peppers. The spice heat of Capsicum peppers are measured and reported as Scoville Heat Units (SHU). In 1912, American pharmacist, Wilbur Scoville, developed a test known as the, Scoville Organoleptic Test, which was used to measure pungency (spice heat) of Capsicum peppers. Since the 1980s, pungency has been more accurately measured by high-performance liquid chromatography Source: https://phys.org/news/2009-06-domestication- (HPLC).

  • Of Hot Peppers
    THE OF HOT PEPPERS COM . updated 03/2016 SUPER HOTS 800,000+ SHU Carolina Reaper 1,569,383 - 2,200,000 SHU As of August, 2013, Guinness World Records stated that Smokin’ Ed’s Carolina Reaper® is officially the world’s hottest chile pepper. The original cross was between two former world record holders, a ghost pepper and a Red Savina Habanero. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 1,200,000 - 2,000,000 SHU The New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the newest hottest chile pepper in the world as of February 2012. The Trinidad moruga scorpion has a tender fruit-like flavor, which makes it a deadly sweet-hot combination. 7 Pot/Pod Douglah (Trinidad Douglah) 923,000 - 1,853,396 SHU From Trinidad, it’s said that 1 pod will spice seven pots of stew. It is a rare and extremely hot chile. The Douglah is characterized by a dark brown/deep purple skin with many “pimples” over the surface. The pepper starts out green and matures to the dark color unique to the Douglah. 7 Pot Brown (Chocolate 7 Pot) 800,000 - 1,853,396 SHU There is still some debate as to whether the brown or chocolate 7 Pot is the same variety as the Douglah (above) while some contend that the 7 Pot Brown tastes much better than the Douglah. Ripe pods are brown in color, with the white internal membrane covering much of the inside of the pepper. 7 Pot Primo 1,473,480 SHU Created by Troy Primeaux, (nickname Primo), a horticulturist from Louisiana, the 7 Pot Primo can get very lumpy and distorted and even grow a skinny little tail.
