Matured pods of White Fire, Champion, Aji Colorado, Topgirl

 

I have started to harvest some of the peppers. It is allways interesting when you taste a new pepper for the first time. Here are some of my reflections.

 

White fire:

Somewhat of a dissapointment. I have tasted two pods and they had no heat at all. The taste reminded me of sweet red bell peppers.

 

Champion:

Matured pod: I could not feel any heat. In my opinion sweet with the taste of green apple and green grass.

I did also taste a not matured green pod and a well(over-) matured pod. I prefered the matured pod.

White fire Capsicum annuum and Champion Capsicum baccatum

 

Aji Colorado:

This one I really like. First of all a very beatuful plant with pods in many colors. The pods have some heat. The taste is typical baccatum. It reminds me of Aji Cristal in taste. I belive they are good as immature as well.

 

Topgirl:

A sweet pepper. Mild and very tasty.

 

Bulgarian Carrot:

This one looks like a carrot and it did also taste like a carrot (almost :rolleyes: )! Sweet and fruity taste. Nice heat, Scoville units 10 000 - 30 000.

A hot carrot!

 

Hot Pepper Lantern:

Hot, but not very hot in my opionon. Also very tasty.

 

Tasmanian Red

This one was hot, but not as hot as many habaneros. The taste was ok. No typical chinense taste.

Tasmanian Red Capsicum chienense or should it be Capsicum annuum ? ( I belive so)

 

F2 hybrid from Jaloro F1 (isolated seeds).

Very tasty Jalapeno Hybrid with typical Jalapeno heat.
