chinense Bhut with less/no heat?

[LanMan]

I really love the flavor right before the blistering heat. Is there a tamer version with the same flavor with mabye hab heat levels or less?

 

[demonseed]

that would be bloody marvelous! bhuts have one of the best flavours of all the chilli i've personally tried..

You could try making a cross breed to achieve this. It may take several years to reach your goal but its an option.

or just work your heat tolerance up. I love snacking on fresh bhuts during harvest time

Well if I try to male a low/no heat bhut 1 of two things will happen. I will create the tastyest pepper in the world or like justaguy said I will have the heat tolerance from all of the quality control

Thanks All

I think its like all the heatless chinenses, you will likely not get a great C. chinese flavor without having the heat as well... but a milder cross may work

I had a bunch of bhut plants last year producing pods with no heat for a couple of weeks. It was an environmental thing, we had a long heatwave and the plants were getting overwatered. Their flavor was definitely not as good as normal, very bitter.
