How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.We think this sweet pepper is fabulous - it's liking playing roulette with food! Most of the peppers grown on this plant will not have much heat, especially if picked as you should, when they are immature; if the fruits are allowed to ripen they go red in colour and gather more heat! It's great fun to watch people's reactions when eating the green fruits, as most of them, especially early in the season have no heat at all, but the odd one does! (Please remember to play with care and have a sugar cube to hand to ease the heat!)
This is a Spanish Tapas pepper and slightly curved and wrinkled in shape, not a huge fruit but a good size (about 2"/5 cm).
The fruits should be picked when they are green and immature.
Originatingfrom Padrón, in Northwest Spain.
Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
