How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.An orange lantern-shaped fruit that looks like and has a similar fruity flavour to the orange Habanero, but has none of the heat. Such a worthwhile variety to grow, particularly to encourage children (or adults for that matter) to enjoy the flavours of chilli.
Developed by New Mexico State University this is a hybrid of Orange Habanero and a Capsicum chinense Accession and has produced a stunning result.
Trick or Treat really is a trick; you expect it to be hot but instead you get the delightful treat of a gorgeous flavour which, added to any dish, takes it to a new level (you can always add a bit of Orange Habanero if you want a bit of a kick!). With such a lovely name it just begs to be cooked and served at Halloween.
