These peppers were grown by Joe Delaney from seeds collected in Ghana, so as close to the pepper in Ghana as is possible! Thanks Joe!
Although I `ve had this one before, these looked quite different and being so close to the source, deserved a second look and taste.
The flavor is initially quite sweet, but with a prickly burn and very strong C.chinense flavor. There is also a little fruitiness and the overall sensation is one of freshness. The aftertaste has undertones of fresh ginger.
The heat is quite prickly and a little aggressive, being around 3 times that of a Cayenne, so hot but not ridiculous. It`s a very nice pepper that could be a real mainstay of the kitchen, with many uses. Sounds about right for a Landrace like this one!!!
