This variety comes from Curico in Chile. Many believe that the fruit has its peak flavor before reaching maturity. We can therefore harvest the peppers before they are fully ripe which increases the plant’s productivity, making it one of the most productive variety there is. The young fruits are a pale yellow-green, which turn red-orange as they ripen. Their taste recalls citrus. 30 000 on the Scoville scale.
Isolated in a greenhouse under fine mesh nets.

About 5 to 8 times stronger than Jalapeno peppers, it ranks between 50 to 70 000 units on the Scoville scale. They are therefore very spicy, on top of their sweet and fruity taste - ideal for those used to spiciness that are seeking to discover new flavors. In sauces, salsas, or dried and ground up they will nicely spice up many different types of meals.

The Jalapeño pepper is probably amongst the most well-known and loved hot pepper there is. It comes from the city of Xalapa, in Mexico.
Jalapeño peppers are particularly generous in terms of fruits produced. Each plant grows several conical green fruits that will turn red once fully ripe. You can harvest them when they are still green, which is how we often encounter them in stores and restaurants, to get a milder pepper. If you wait until they are fully ripe and red, they will gain in spiciness and flavor.
Hot but not burning, this pepper is quite versatile. It will soon become an essential for your Indian or Mexican inspired recipes.

This pepper variety originally comes from Japan. It gives a bountiful harvest of small wrinkled fruits, about 10 cm in length. Very productive, it will yield at least 25 peppers per plant. The red peppers (when ripe) are equally delicious if eaten earlier, when they are still green. They are mild and sweet but can be bit spicy, especially if dried. Compact plant, ideal for small gardens.

A great substitution to the pepper with a protected designation of origin grown in Pyrénées-Atlantiques! Selected and grown since the 17th Century in a small French Basque Country village (Espelette) for its subtle yet flavorful taste. It truly gives off all of its tasty potential once dehydrated and ground. Productive variety that gives fruits between 5 to 10 cm in length.
Official variety for the production of the famous Espelette pepper, however cultivation and harvest are regulated by a PDO in order to use the name 'Espelette'.

Both ornemental and delicious, this hot pepper variety comes from Brazil. It grows abundant small peppers (2 to 3 cm long) which have a very unique water drop shape. Crunchy, fruity and only slightly spicy, its exceptional taste must be discovered raw, as the pepper loses all its flavor when cooked. It will be best used in a fruit salad or in this Brazilian traditional recipe:
