Now let's move on to the description of the Seeds that this Mexican Collection includes:
- 10 Seeds of Habanero Red (Capsicum Chinense): it is the classic Red Habanero with an elongated shape and smooth skin. A spicy classic not to be missed for all lovers of this Pepper.
- 10 Seeds of Habanero Chocolate (Capsicum Chinense): with an intense and explosive flavor, it combines joyfully with Meat, Mexican Cuisine, Sandwiches and Beans. Like all brown Peppers, it has a slightly bitter taste and an almost smoky aftertaste. Exquisite.
- 10 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. It has a sweetish aftertaste, excellent for pasta all'arrabbiata, pizza, Asian and Mexican cuisine, if you are not afraid of watering it is also notable when eaten raw.
- 10 Seeds of Habanero White Giant (Capsicum Chinense): is an interesting and rare Habanero with a large shape and a White / Ivory color, very tasty, around 300,000 Shu. Like all white peppers, it is suitable for fish, salads and vegetarian dishes.
- 10 Seeds of Habanero Yellow Bullet (Capsicum Chinense): is a rare and exquisite exclusive of Semi Strani now stable, it is the yellow variant of the famous Habanero White Bullet, it has a small shape similar to a peanut, a decisive and truly exquisite spiciness that stands at 150,000 / 200,000 Shu, excellent for any dish you want to make spicy, as its flavor I would define classic, one of my favorites. The plant is small and bushy, the yields copious. Watch the Video of the Habanero Yellow Bullet Pepper Plant by Semi Strani by Carlo Martini
- 10 Seeds of the legendary Tabasco (Capsicum Frutescens): Chili pepper known all over the world thanks to the famous Tabasco sauce which is made with this variety. It has a spiciness that is concentrated in the middle of the tongue and is suitable for any dish. The fruits are delicious, small and with a color that varies from dark orange to fiery red. Having a nice Tabasco plant on the terrace and making a nice spicy sauté or the sauce for a Pizza alla Diavola directly with the fresh fruits that have just been detached from the plant, is really quite another thing than using the usual cayenne, believe me.
- 10 Seeds of Chiltepin (Capsicum Annuum var. Gabriusculum): it is a mythical Chili pepper in the sense of ancient, there are those who argue that the genetics of the hottest peppers started from this one which is native to the United States and Mexico. The name comes from Nahuati and means "flea pepper" in reference to the small size of the berries the size of a peanut. One of the most interesting characteristics is the fact that it is a perennial plant that can reach 50 years of age. Their spiciness varies but generally has a value between 20,000 Shu and 50,000 Shu. It is often found as a shrub and wild bush in the Mexican desert, in fact it is defined as a wild pepper. It is used by drying it in the sun and then making spicy powders with it. Thanks to its characteristics, it is the Chili Pepper that lends itself best to becoming a Bonsai, here is my video: Chiltepin Chili Pepper Bonsai Plant

Chiltepin is part of the Capsicum Annum but with a variation that is defined as var. Glabriusculum, believed by many to be the closest wild subspecies to the common ancestor of all species, evolved between Brazil and Bolivia.
- 10 Seeds of Chile de Arbol (Capsicum Annuum): it is a Mexican Chili widely used in the kitchen to be eaten fresh, made in powder form and in sauces for Mexican cuisine dishes. It is not very spicy and is very tasty and flavorful for all palates. Watch the video of the Plant here: Chile de Arbol Mexican Chili by SemiStrani.it
- 10 Seeds of Serrano (Capsicum Annuum): is a Mexican Chili, similar to the Jalapeno but with narrower and more tapered fruits. The name means "that comes from the mountains", when ripe they turn red, but they are usually eaten green, among many dishes, also to make the famous Guacamole sauce.
- 10 Seeds of the exquisite Jalapeno (Capsicum Annuum): it is an exquisite Chili pepper of Mexican origin, one of the best known thanks to its versatility and its little spiciness, about 15,000 Shu, which makes it appreciated by all a little. Many historians consider it the oldest chili in the world so much so that the Aztecs cultivated it in Mexico before the arrival of the Spaniards. Cristofero Colombo himself, on his second trip to the Americas, returned to Europe with a Peperoncino plant, which over time was called La Spezia del Popolo, as it is inexpensive and easy to grow, some historians say that Columbus returned with a other Jalapeno plant which returned with a Habanero Orange plant. Gourmets eat it green, just before it turns red it must be detached from the plant. Usually it is sliced and put in oil or in vinegar after which it is used in salads, on pizza, in hamburgers or as an aperitif. Another very popular recipe is to fill it with cheese and roll around it a slice of bacon or bacon, seared a little on the grill, it will become a fantastic aperitif to be enjoyed with a good glass of red wine.
- 10 Seeds of Black Chilhuacle (Capsicum Annuum): is a classic Mexican Chlli originally from Oaxaca with which the famous Salsa Mole is cooked, it is also used to make them stuffed when they are still green or to make them dried, when ripe it has a dark brown color. The shape is that of a classic pepper but smaller. The spiciness is very light, almost imperceptible and the flavor has a smoky aftertaste.
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, consider that, the classic Cayenne Red Chilli that you can find everywhere, arrives at most 30,000 SHU.
However, this Mexican Chili Seeds Collection is not so sought after for its spiciness, even if the Habaneros have nothing to envy to the super hot Carolina Reaper and Scorpion, but for the aromas and taste that these varieties, so loved in Mexico and in the rest of America Latina, they will know how to make your dishes.
