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'.

The Peri-Peri pepper was introduced from Central America to the rest of the world, and especially in Africa, by Portuguese explorers. Nowadays, this pepper is widely used in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Portugal, in Brazil and in Angola as piri-piri. 'Pili-pili' is the name given to the pepper in Bantu languages, for example in Lingala in Congo and many other Subsaharan languages. Very tiny, fine and pointy fruits, they are also very spicy. Can be harvested as soon as it turns bright red, and eaten fresh or dried.

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 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.

The Peach Sugar Rush pepper was selectively bred by Chris Fowler, who finally stabilized the variety in 2012, 8 years after he first started the process. He had noted that the rosy color was associated with higher sugar levels and a strong citrus taste.
He did succeed very well, as this pepper tastes very sweet with hints of apricot, peach and lemon before the spiciness comes in. Ranging from 50 000 to 100 000 on the Scoville scale, it ranks under Habanero peppers. Very productive and delicious (for hot pepper lovers!), it quickly became one of our favorites at the farm.
Do not be surprised, the peach color does take a while before showing up. It will come towards the end of the season, or you might even need to make it ripen after harvesting it. Nothing stops you from eating it before though!

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.

The Jimmy Nardello peppers come from the Basilicata region in the south of Italy. This region has had a rich and diverse pepper culture for generations. The Jimmy Nardello first came to life in Giuseppe and Angella Nardello's garden in the 19th century. They emigrated to Connecticut in 1887, along with all of they children, and brought with them the seeds of this long and thin-skinned red pepper.
According to the story, their 4th child, Jimmy Nardello, became a passionated gardener. He kept on cultivating the family seeds which his parents had preserved all their lives. Shortly before his death, in 1983, he donated his seeds to Seed Savers Exchange and they quickly became famous amongst the farming community.
The Jimmy Nardello pepper is considered on of the best peppers to be fried because its flesh becomes tender and sweet. It is also delicious eaten fresh but can be dried as well. Upon maturity, it presents a deep red color, an elongated form and tends to twirls as it grows.
