18 HOT Peppers

HOT Peppers Combines the flavour of a sweet mini bell pepper

with jalapeno-like heat. A beauty in the garden
or on the patio, peppers ripen from lime-green
to scarlet to deep red. 500 to 4,000 SHU.

› Cayenetta

(most cayenne peppers are rated at 30,000
to 50,000 SHU). Well-branched upright plant,
easy to grow in containers.

› Aji Mango Pepper

This pepper variety has moderate heat at 25,000 SHU
and is believed to come from Peru. With interesting
tropical notes and a fruity, mildly mango-like flavour
as the name suggests. Great in a stir-fry, made
into a jelly or dried.

› Sugar Rush Peach pepper

Peppers grow to about 3 inches long and mature
to a pretty, peachy-orange colour. With tropical fruit
undertones. These sweet chili peppers pack a punch
when it comes to heat: between 50,000 and
100,000 SHU. Plants are super prolific and can
easily be grown in containers. Great in a salsa
and delicious stuffed.
