Capsicum is chili peppers and is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae.
It’s the rainforest pepper! Extremely juicy and loaded with freaky fresh flavor. This yung baccatum packs a nice fruit taste with a dope presentation. Smaller pods with a weird bottom to them and quite thick skinned. This pep is a personal favorite of one of the cultivators of this underground internet blog™.
獅子唐辛子! This is a Japanese variety which is becoming more popular in the US at the moment. The Portuguese introduced these to Japan several hundred years ago 1 in conjunction with Christopher Columbus.
The Aji Golden is one of the most chillwave peppers we’ve come across in our long pepper journey across Middle Earth. And we’ve arrived at Meduseld.
Yum. Deep, earthy and smokey flavor with berry undertones. Yes, I hate myself for saying berry undertones. Similar to a habenero taste which wasn’t expected. Not as mild as anticipated, especially when I’m telling people “this pepper isn’t spicy” before they try it.
They look very spicy! However, biting into a fresh one is strange experience–tastes exactly like a Habanero or Scotch Bonnet without the heat! Very juicy. Not as fruity as I was expecting. It is assumed Aji Dulce are quite similar in taste and heat level? Willeth thou pepper gods trahtne?
SHU: 50,000 Origin: Peru A bit spicy and a pungent baccatum! Another Peruvian favorite. Also called the Aji Limon, or Kellu Uchu in Peru. Similar to the Aji Cito or Aji Pineapple, but, a sharper taste. Very floral and tastes a bit like lemons, especially when cooked. To clear up any confusion relating to similarly…
There is the concept1 of a human person having the capability of becoming a “pepper hunter.” This is the best thing I’ve ever heard, besides of course Chuck Person’s Eccojams Vol. 1. I want to be The Pepper Hunter. It has a better ring to it than The Night Gardener, right? Update: one is also…
This is a business pepper. Not business casual like those other peppers–you know which ones I’m talking about.
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…
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…
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
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…
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.
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…
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…
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…
