This is a nice looking, peach/flesh-colored pepper from Brazil. The traditional color on these is red. They are very similar to Biquinho peppers. The flavor is tangy with some chinense/hab overtones. Heat level on the ones I grew is between cayenne and thai.

Review

This plant has great ornamental value. The leaves are dark, and pods go through multiple ripening color phases. They typically ripen to orange/red, but I had one plant that ripened to gold. The heat varied between the two plants I grew. The one I tasted in the video had heat a little lower than a regular ghost, the flavor was not bad.

This is habanero type pepper, originally called Big Mango Hab. Since the pods on my plant are regular sized, I just call it Mango Hab.

Burn Profile:  Stingy heat on the tongue

Review

This is a a very productive plant. The pods are not super flavorful, but great for use in hot sauces, and probably powders. It doesn’t have a very pungent smell, and has a light citrusy taste.

Review

This pepper was very hot, more than expected. They typically are supposed to have a distinct fruitiness, but the one I grew was more floral, with much higher than habanero level heat. I think it would be great for hot sauces or powders.

Review

This is an awesome pepper. It has the looks, flavor, and sweetness of MOA Scotch Bonnet, but with much more heat. The heat effects/signature of similar to some super hots, but not as intense as superhot peppers. It’s much hotter than scotch bonnets/habaneros.

Review

This was grown from seeds saved out of a pod from Justin White. The pods are red and smallish, with horizontal wrinkling, similar to what is seen on the ‘Jami’ bhut variants, and some Peach Bhuts. It had a Bhut-like smell. The flavor was sweet without an upfront burn. The burn had a gradual buildup and became pretty intense. The flavor reminded me of Bih Jolokia, but sweeter and with more heat.
