Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, this pepper does look like a part of male anatomy. The exact origin of this pepper is unknown, but it probably comes from Louisiane or Texas in the U.S.A., or from Mexico. Its popularity is allegedly due to Frank X. Tolbert (1912-1984), a Texan journalist and historian working for the Dallas Morning News (between 1946 and 1984) for which he wrote chronicles about rather unusual local news. There are different versions of this pepper, some are red, others are orange or yellow (quite rare). Ours are red. They rank on average at 16,500 on the Scoville scale, meaning they are spicy, but also delicious dehydrated or cooked. Its shape won't go unnoticed, and it is easy to grow in pots for example for grandma's balcony. It can also be included in gorilla gardening project to make the neighbors chuckle. Life is too short to not enjoy it.   Package: Around 20 seeds
