Here is the single description of each Chili Pepper in this Classic Collection:
- 10 Pure Seeds of Carolina Reaper Red (Capsicum Chinense): entered the Guinness Book of Records as the HOTTEST CHILLI PEPPER IN THE WORLD in December 2013: a bomb that detaches your tongue from your mouth, makes you sweat and feel spicy up to your nostrils and the ears. Originally from South Carolina, it is a cross between an Indian Naga and a Mexican Red Habanero. It boasts an incredible 2,200,000 SHU record.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow (Capsicum Chinense): a powerful fragrance and a huge harvest, it originates from the Moruga district in the Caribbean of Trinidad and Tobago. It was elected the hottest chili pepper in the world in 2011 and ousted only by the Carolina Reaper at the end of 2013, it is therefore currently considered (in its red variant, while this is the yellow variant), the second hottest chili pepper in the world on the scale from Scoville. This yellow variant is more fruity, suitable for cheeses, fish and vegetarian dishes.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Bhut Jolokia Red (Capsicum Chinense / Capsicum Frutescens): powerful Indian Chilli, known in the West as Ghost Chili, a classic in the USA where it is consumed a lot. Its name means "Cobra Pepper" because it bites like the famous snake. It was elected in 2007 as the hottest in the world and maintained the title until 2011 when it was beaten by the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and later by the Carolina Reaper, so as you can see, in this Classic Collection you will have the first 3 hottest Chillies in the World according to the official ranking of the Scala di Scoville. Its peculiarity in addition to the beauty of the form is the fact that it is the only known hybrid between Capsicum Chinense and Capsicum Frutescens, which makes it one of the most beautiful and good Peppers in the world, just a must-see Classic.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Pink Tiger (Capsicum Chinense): one of the most beautiful and tasty chili peppers in the world, in my humble opinion it is the most beautiful. It is a cross between Bhut Jolokia and Pimenta da Neyde, the plant is lush and purplish. The fruits are long and tapered and purple in color, as they ripen they take on pink and cream streaks. The spiciness is remarkable and is around 300,000 Shu so it will satisfy even the most eager palates for spiciness.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Habanero Chocolate (Capsicum Chinense): with an intense and explosive flavor, it combines joyfully with meats, Mexican cuisine and beans. Like all brown Peppers, it has a slightly bitter taste and an almost smoky, exquisite aftertaste.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Habanero Orange (Capsicum Chinense), with a remarkable spiciness that reaches the tongue after a few seconds, as I say "with a delayed burst". It is the oldest of the Habanero and the most consumed chili in Mexico together with Jalapeno, which is also found in this collection. It has a sweetish aftertaste, excellent for arrabiata pasta, pizza and Asian cuisine, take a look at the Spicy Recipes.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum Chinense): much loved in the United States, perfect for humburgers and meat sauces. It is a very prolific plant and the fruits are large and fleshy, a real delicacy, the most daring make them stuffed with cheese, but it takes the mouth of asbestos.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Jamaican Red Hot Pepper (Capsicum Chinense): a classic pepper from Jamaica but much loved all over the world. It is a Capsicum Chinense with a moderate spiciness around 100,000 / 200,000 Shu. The plant is robust and produces many fruits with a curious lantern shape as you can see from the photos.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Tabasco (Capsicum Frutescens): is a Chili pepper originally from a region of Mexico from which it took its name, famous all over the world for the famous sauce that has seasoned and still seasoned hamburgers all over the planet! The plant is very beautiful and has the fruits facing upwards, passing from green to orange, to red and finally to fiery red when fully ripe. Ideal for making sauces and gravies, a must-have plant for any spicy lover. Watch the Video of Carlo Martini's Tabasco Pepper Plant by SemiStrani.it
- 10 Pure Seeds of Red Cayenne (Capsicum Annuum): well what to say except that the Red Cayenne is the most widespread Chilli in the World? The classic 30,000 Shu cone Red Chili Pepper. Sooner or later everyone grows it, now maybe it's your turn?
- 10 Pure Seeds of Jalapeno (Capsicum Annuum): not very spicy and therefore tolerable by everyone, well known for its flavor, taste and versatility. Many scholars believe it to be the oldest chili pepper in the world, so much so that the Aztecs cultivated it in Mexico even before the Spanish arrived. Cristofero Colombo returned with a Chili Plant from his second trip to the Americas, with what then went down in history as the "People's Spice", there have been many debates about what the plant with which Columbus returned was, some say the Jalapeno and others the Habanero Orange, probably we will never know but surely it was one of these two, whose Seeds are both present in this super collection. Gourmets eat Jalapeno when it is still green, in fact it is usually detached from the plant just before it turns red. Numerous recipes with this classic Pepper that you can find here Spicy Recipes, remember, just to make your mouth water, that the Jalapeno can be made in slices to be put in oil or in vinegar and then use them as finger food, in salads, on pizza or in hamburgers. Another famous recipe is the one with which they are stuffed with cheese and then rolled in bacon, seared a little on the grill, they become a delicious and original aperitif to be enjoyed with a nice red wine.
- 10 Pure Seeds of Calabrian Round Hot Pepper (Capsicum Annum) from Calabria, Italy, classic stuffed chili pepper, excellent with anchovies and capers.
To realize the power of these chillies consider that the Scoville scale (abbreviated as SHU) gives the value of the spiciness of each individual plant, to make a comparison the classic Cayenne Red Chili that you can find in any supermarket, reaches a maximum of 30,000 SHU.
