heat Jigsaw heat level

Hello everyone...has anybody eaten a Jigsaw pepper? I'm growing some and was wondering if the heat level compares to any other well-known chilis such as jalapeños, serranos or habaneros. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that’s the ornamental annuum for sure. I’m growing it this year as well, and have already been blown away by its foliage.

So yeah, you’re looking at about Serrano heat level. Usual ornamental reputation, for food: usable, not bad, but not as flavorful as culinary varieties.

I'm only aware of 1 Jigsaw but there could be other varieties. The reviews on the seed company's website where I bought my seeds have some people claiming they are jalapeño hot while others say hotter than habaneros. I'll just have to wait and see...with a tall milk shake ready just in case! 😎

Thanks for your input! I guess time will tell. The seeds came from Baker Creek and the exact classification wasn't given. Here is the picture on their site.
