Cayenne Peppers-Bright Red and HOT!


Vendor: Whitehill Farm

(Pictured) Certified Organic! Stunning Corbaci Turkish Sweet Peppers: .Although they LOOK a little dangerous, Corbaci peppers are not the least hot. They have a sweet, strong, and earthy flavor that is kind of addictive. They ripen from a bright yellow, through orange, and finally to red when they are fully ripe. Some of each will provide a rainbow for your salad!

Matchbox Hot Peppers - hot, the name says it all! Pinky-finger sized, perfect for salsa! Matchbox is a striking red, and nice and hot ...better than a Jalapeno! This is the open pollinated version of Super Chili, a variety owned by Monsanto :-(. A favorite of ours for salsa and slipping into jars of dilly beans!
