Hello just
wanted to let you know I received my seeds and
thought I would give a testimonial:
My
seeds came quickly and very well packaged.
I have been growing hot and sweet peppers from
seed for years and so once received, I did the
usual i.e.: soaked a couple hours in cup of warm
water with a teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide,
planted in a covered seed tray with a wicking
matt, placed on top of the warming pad and
topped with
fluorescents... but here is where my
surprise and a testament to the quality of these
seeds comes into play. Anyone who has
grown from seed knows it can take some time for
them to sprout, especially Habs and Bhuts. After
only seven days I was pleasantly surprised to
see hooks and a few leaves and by the next day I
had sprouts from all six varieties I had
purchased. The sprouts are sturdy and
growing well and thick, some of the nicest I
have seen. I could not be more pleased with
these seeds and it's good to know I have a
reliable place to buy my seeds with a great
selection of the varieties I enjoy.
Thanks
for the great seeds and outstanding customer
service!

Yellow
Bhut Jolokia Experiment
We hope this
yellow Bhut Jolokia is a mutation and not a cross pollinated variety.
The Chile Pepper Institute explained to us that a mutation is actually
better than a cross as it allows the original chilli to remain potent
and unchanged in flavour and shape. The
chilli will have a pungency level similar to the red Bhut Jolokia. We
will not know until this lot of seeds is harvested and grown. Thanks for
becoming part of this exciting experiment, don't forget to send us your
yellow Bhut pictures and your names.
A Yellow version of
the World’s hottest chilli Bhut Jolokia,
Capsicum chinense Jacq has been grown.
We hope this Yellow Bhut Jolokia is a
natural variant of Bhut Jolokia the
world’s hottest chilli originating in
Assam in North East India.
The Bhut
Jolokia is the hottest chilli with an
official Scoville heat rating (SHU) of
1,001,304
SHU
twice that of the previous record
holder, the Red Savina. Your chance to
grow one of the most original of the
hottest chillies in the world and that's
official! We are proud to stock Yellow
Bhut Jolokia. We are going to have it
heat tested and we are hoping that the
heat level will be in the same region as
the hottest chilli in the world, the
Bhut Jolokia, or even be hotter!

Chiltepin
Heat Level 10+++
The Chiltepin/Tepin can be over wintered and re grown the
following season. Referred to as the "mother of all hot
peppers" some say the chiltepin is even hotter than the
Habanero. These tiny chillis can be dried and crumbled on
top of food or added to soups, stews, salsas, chorizo or any
dish where some heat and flavour is appropriate. Chiltepin
are hard to find and hand harvested. Chiltepins are one of
the few crops in the world which are harvested in the wild
rather than cultivated. The Tarahumara Indians of the
Sonoran Desert in Mexico believe that chiltepins were the
greatest protection against the evils of sorcery. (Capsicum

Burkina
Yellow Habanero
Heat Level 10++
This is a fantastic looking plant full of some of the

5 cm long, 3 to 4 cm diameter. Average weight: 7g. Fruit
colour changes from light green to a striking yellow at full
maturity. Pendant fruits. Plant is 55 to 65 cm high, light
green foliage.

the hotness of the pepper increases the more it
is exposed to the sun. Traditionally eaten fresh

Trinidad
Scorpion
Extremely rare hot chilli from the Caribbean.
The irregular shape, thin pods have an excellent

7 Pod / 7 Pot
Chilli Seeds
The 7
Pod (sometimes called 7 Pot, as in 1 pod will
spice seven pots of stew.) is a Chinense variety
from Trinidad. This variety is matched for heat
by just a small number of other Chinense
varieties, namely the Bhut Jolokia, Bih Jolokia,
the Dorset Naga/Naga Morich, and the Trinidad
Scorpion (see above). The texture of the peppers
is very different to your average capsicum.
Rather than the smooth, shiny surface of most
peppers, the 7 pod has an almost paper-y texture
and pods start lime green rather than the usual
dark green. Seeds have been grown in Trinidad
and not isolated so some cross pollination is
possible and pure strain 7 pod cannot be
guaranteed. Having said that, a 7 pod cross
would be an even rarer hot pepper so don't let
that put you off trying this great variety.

Naga
Morich
The Naga Morich 'snake or
serpent chilli' is one of the world's most
respected hot chilli peppers.
The Chilli Pepper
Company has been selected to sell the
seeds of a very interesting strain of
Naga Morich grown in Southern Spain.
This Naga Morich has a reported Scoville
Heat rating of .
This strain of Naga Morich is straight from
the hills surrounding Nagaland where Gordon
Ramsey visited a village of one the famous
Naga Warrior Tribes in his latest show.
The Naga Morich 'snake or serpent chilli' is
one of the world's most respected hot chilli
peppers.
The
heat of chillies is due to the presence
of a group of seven closely related
compounds called capsainoids, but
capsaicin
(8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) and
dihydrocapsaicin are responsible for
approximately 90% of the pungency.
The Naga Morich has a high percent of
these two compounds.
A sample of
fresh fruit of the rare
Bangladeshi Naga Morich chilli was
tested by Warwick University using HPLC
and registered a hot tongue numbing
1,598,227 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
To compare the Naga with
the Bhut a HPLC test would need to be
carried out on a dry sample as for the
Worldwide Standard Sampling Techniques
as was used to test the Bhut Jolokia.
The figures for a test carried out under
the standard test situations are showing
that the comparable heat is around the
800,000 to 900,000 SHU. These original
Naga Morich seeds have not been grown by
gardeners at home, these are the genuine
Naga Morich. Naga Morich is the closest
relative to the Dorset Naga.
Currently original
Naga Morich seeds are scarce, and Naga
seeds with proven provenance are even
scarcer still. Our Naga Morich seeds
come from certificated germination and
heat tested stock. (Capsicum Chinense)

Chilli Peppers Are you buying the genuine Piment
d' Espelette Basque Hot Chilli Peppers?
Only Espelette Products Stamped
With This Logo Are The
Genuine Piment d 'Espelette AOC Powders, Seeds
and Pods Our basque d' espelette (Capsicum
annuum) seeds are from what is considered the
best pimento growing district in the Espelette
Basque AOC area. The Genuine Espelette pepper is
grown only in 10 areas: Ainhoa, Cambo-les-Bains,
Espelette, Halsou, Jatxou, itxassou, Larressore,
Pée Saint-sur-Nivelle, and Souraïde Ustaritz.
Our Espelette Basque Chilli Pepper seeds are
from the most prized growing area in the Piment
D'
Espelette Basque AOC. Originally from South
America, it seems that the pepper was imported
in 1650 by a Basque navigator who accompanied
Christopher Columbus. After years of studies and
tests 2000 saw the recognition of the AOC Piment
d' Espelette. The appellation was enhanced in
2002 by obtaining the European PDO, Protected
Designation of Origin (PDO) This means that the
seeds are protected and can only be grown in the
areas mentioned above and is against the law to
grow to sell seeds and name them as Espelette
Basque Chilli Pepper Products/Seeds. Basque
chilli pepper production is managed by the
Department of Fraud which guarantees the origin
of the Espelette Basque Chilli Pepper pods,
powder and seeds. The Basque chilli pepper is
more aromatic and sweet than hot. Espelette
chilli peppers are tied with string the strings
of peppers are hung in the kitchens to dry. Once
dried they are ground to a powder which is very
much prized around the world in the home and in
many restaurant kitchens. In the kitchen, this
spice substitute is for providing pepper spice
and perfume to all your meals. The chilli is
used in Basque Cuisine to give taste to the
simplest dishes such as omelettes, fried eggs,
grilled sardines or salads… Sprinkled on grilled
goat or sheep cheese, the Basque chilli breathes
out its blend of flavours. We always add a pinch
of Espelette chilli powder in Basque recipes
such as “piperade”, “axoa” or “marmitako”.
Basque chilli can have a fruity tomato flavour
or a dry hay scent, but what makes it special is
the aromatic aspect of it, rather than its
intensity. Depending on the Summer the Espelette
chilli pepper plant grows between 60cm and 1.5m
high producing between 15 to 30 fruit per plant.

peppers The Ancho pepper provides

Easy to grow and dry, perfect to have in the
kitchen for all types of cooking because these
peppers are not hot. Grown in Mexico,
Anchos are common to Mexican and South-western
cooking. Anchos have a mild, sweet, fruity
flavour. Ancho is the most commonly used dried
chilli in Mexico. An Ancho is a dried Poblano
Pepper and often is mislabelled as a Pasilla or
Mulato pepper. Anchos can be used as a
substitute for Guajillo or Pasilla Negro and
visa versa. These chillies have the same heat
range and flavour profile. Ancho, Pasilla and
Guajillo form the Holy Trinity of chiles used to
prepare traditional mole sauces. Great in
sauces, salsa and soups, add directly to the
cooking liquid along with other spices. Use in
stir fry, or sprinkled over poultry or fish
before baking or grilling.

Suave Orange
Now this is a really
special chilli pepper, back in stock by
popular demand. Breed by the Chile
Pepper Institute for people that enjoy
the fantastic flavour of Habañero but
not that much heat.
This chilli is the same family as
a Habanero, Capsicum Chinense. The word
"suave" is Spanish for mellow, smooth or
mild. The Red Savina measures 577,000
SHUs, the hottest in the world and the
Orange Suave measures 835 SHUs. The
Chile Pepper Institute have developed
these two chillies with all the flavours
of the Habanero but less heat. These are
must have
chillies for cooks who like the taste of
the Habanero. Capsicum Chinense have
unique flavours but most people can not
taste them because of the heat. The
Suaves have a citrus like flavour with
an orange lemony overtone with an
apricot aroma.
The heat is in the back of the
mouth and throat and not on the lips and
tongue. Each plant can yield up to 100
fruits. (Capsicum Chinense)

Naga Jolokia????
Chilli Heat Level ???
This striking and very
useful hot chilli from Assam an area in
India close to the famous city of Tezpur,
renowned for bringing us some of the hot
varieties of chillies around. The chilli has
a cited heat level of 855,000 SHU but it is
very doubtful it holds this much
heat!!!! Probably it would be closer
to 100,000 SHU if, that. Lots of pepper seed
suppliers call it Naga Jolokia by mistake.
According to our informed local experts, the
chilli tested with a heat level of 855,000
SHU was actually the Bhut Jolokia which in
some parts of India is called Naga Jolokia,
Naga being an area and Jolokia meaning
Pepper or chilli. This was the hot
chilli tested with a recorded heat level of
855,000 SHU. Indian PC-1 is a Capsicum
annuum. As you can see from the photographs,
the Indian PC-1 chilli (AMKA also
mistakenly known as the Naga Jolokia)
actually bears no resemblance to the
Capsicum Chinense family to which all the
hottest varieties belong. This is no reason
not to grow it but please do not mistake it
for the similarly named but much hotter
Bhut/Bih Jolokia. You could always grow
it and prove us wrong
