Quite possibly my new favorite pepper. Scratch that, it IS my new favorite pepper! I am not a fan of eating raw peppers (they upset my tummy), but I do love dried spicy peppers mixed with my own oven roasted garlic from the garden and eat it every.single.day on my eggs!
Two of the pictures I've included are from a long time customer, yearly guinea pig for new varieties and, well, my friend Tyler Wolfe. Here's what he had to say about this amazing pepper:
"I didn't find it that hot really. Above Jalapeno, maybe little lower than Serrano. Complex flavor that reminds me of a red bell pepper. Little sweet, little earthy."
I'll add that there is defintely a smoky undertone.
If you use spice - fresh or dried - this is a must grow! And, c'mon, look at it - it's a beautiful plant!
