Vegan Aji Arrabbiata
We have been looking for an excuse to make this dish with some interesting peppers. You are in for a treat. Serves 4. Or, 2 if you’re going to skip the ice cream later.
Farmers Market Jalapeño Pepper
Are you sick of Shakeology? Try a Farmers Market Jalapeño. It is a capsicum annuum that corks like a potato. Corking generally occurs when a pepper stretches to accommodate the rapid growth of the fruit. And this has extreme corking!™ This very rare variety was discovered John Fiedler from ME at a farmers market, hence the…
Aji Brazilian Starfish Pepper
SHU: 10,000 Home: Brazil, Peru Here cometh that Aji Brazilian Starfish. It is a strange lil pep from Brazil, which should probably not come as a shock to you. Sources state it is Agent Mulder’s favorite pepper. The Aji Brazilian Starfish is very similar in weirdness, taste and shape to the Bishop’s Hat Pepper. Weird…
Wicked Mike
Respect is due to Wicked Mike 1 for bringing the peps in 2015. This dude’s grow list 2 is insane. 1 facebook.com 2 google.com
Aji Cito Pepper
Holy wow. The smaller, spicier, and more pungent version of the Aji Amarillo. It’s like being punched in the face, but you like it more than usual! Strong, floral and clean baccatum taste and apparently the hottest in the entire species. Smaller pods, around 2-3 inches. Much tastier when cooked, the fruit flavor really shines like…
Tequila Sunrise Pepper
Ornamental with minimal heat, very tasty pepper. A hit with at least 2 people I know (the cultivators of this underground internet blog). Ripens from green to orange. Growing in the Florida sun, turns into a bright red orange.
Red Freddy Basil
Like purple opal, excellent sweet flavor similar to Genovese Basil. Grows extremely well in the hot Florida sun. A sexy basil for late night internet surfs. Pairings: banana ice cream mint
Aji Pineapple Pepper
SHU: 30,000 Really strange, pungent capsicum baccatum pepper. A fairly well known underground cultivar. Can taste almost soapy at times like cilantro, in an interesting floral way. Very strong burst of citrusy baccatum flavor on first bite, similar to the Aji Cito and even the Lemon Drop. And it’s no slouch in the department of…
CGN 21500 Pepper
SHU: 100,000 estimated Type: Capsicum Chinese Originated in Brazil. Fruity and extremely juicy. This pepper tastes very tropical, like a Habanero that was beat up by a can of Crystal Pepsi. An interesting and sexy spin on the chinense flavor–strong and clean. In terms of heat, not as hot as the Habanero or more closely…

Aji Amarillo Pepper
SHU: 50,000Type: Capsicum BaccutumOrigin: Peru What does an Aji Amarillo taste like? Ted Danson would simply call it, “Heaven.” It has a fruity flavor that is complex and well rounded especially when cooked–almost like a spicy mango, apricot or carrot. People have compared it to tasting like sunshine!1 Amarillo means yellow in Spanish, however, this…
