    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    Cool, I've never heard of 'Chocolate Ghostly Peño'.. its name indicates a cross, at least suggestive. Really? I never tried mustard varieties, you just opened a new door for me. In your opinion, what is the best mustard variety? Thank you, guys!

    chinense mild Capsicum chinense peppers

    I bet on Rocotillo (a very mild habanero), Margariteño and Arroz con pollo (Cuba). Arroz con pollo is really good, fruity, sweet and with that characteristic chinense aroma. For smoked flavor Mako kokoo is less hot than a habanero, yet it is not mild. It's not brown either, but it tastes like...

    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    I have read that Jamaican Hot Chocolate is a favorite of many. This year I had 7 small JHC plants, I was away for a weekend and when I returned there was a huge a Sciridae flies infestation (substrate fly, in Spain). It ruined almost the entire crop, only Jalapeños, Prik kee noo and an...

    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    Don't worry, your recommendation is enough for me. Fish pepper is already on the list for 2022. Thank you very much for your recommendation. I am very grateful for your other recommendations as well. I've never tasted rocoto, maybe it's time. When reading your recommendation on Ajis, I...

    wanted Interested in Kirmizi, Kahramanmaras and Shabu seeds

    Thanks for these valuable answers. Can I trust Sherwood Seeds? I wrote to him a few days ago and he still hasn't responded. I seemed to understand that the Shabu Shabu that Garth now sells is a cross, or the variety is called "Shabu shabu X"...

    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    Thank you so much. Fish pepper seems like a very affordable option. All my regular suppliers have fish pepper seeds. I have seen that it is the favorite of many people. However, I remember that I once read somewhere that it was compared to the taste of serrano, is this true? To my serrano...

    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    Thank you for your answers. I've always thought of Mexican peppers as a growth target. I only tried the classics: habanero, jalapeño, and serrano. Last week I ordered chilhuacle, pasilla bayo, poblano and chile de onza seeds. All to grow in 2022 (I'm starting to have the most common...

    chinense 7 pot brain strain yellow, Scotch brain or Trinidad scorpion moruga yellow?

    Thanks for the reply. I've been searching the internet and you can't really find a place where there is information on the flavor profile of these peppers. I know that taste is something very relative. First it depends on the particular genetics of each plant, then it depends on the growing...

    chinense 7 pot brain strain yellow, Scotch brain or Trinidad scorpion moruga yellow?

    Hello everyone! Like many here, I, too, suffer from pepper-related obsessive-compulsive disorder. So I'm already planning my 2022 grow (and none of my 2021 plants have their third set of leaves yet!) :D I already have all the varieties of pepper that I like. I only need one. I am thinking...

    misc What defines a bad pepper

      In my opinion, a bad pepper is defined by 3 factors that were discussed before: - Bad taste - Bad producer - Low resistance to diseases and pests   Seen in another way, for me a good pepper must have a good taste (perhaps most importantly), be a good producer and have good resistance to pests...

    chinense My ghosts are not ghosts?

    Hi Ruid. I prefer moruga over butch-t, I think, IMO, the flavor is longer lasting. I've planted butch-t other times and found them tasty too. Only once was I unlucky enough to grow a bad plant. At that time I did research on the acidic taste of some super hots and read several comments...

    chinense My ghosts are not ghosts?

    Hello Isaac. Wow, that bad luck. The ghosts is really good, hot and tasty. Years ago I saw people describing these flavors of their ghosts, that taste of battery acid. They also described the same flavor for butch-t. It happened to me 2 years ago with butch-t red. It was really gross...

    flavor What's the most umami pepper you've tasted?

    I think this is a controversial post; but I also find it fun. In this forum there are many posts about tastes and in all of them the conclusion is always reached that taste, in terms of good or bad, is always subjective.   I don't want to focus on whether a pepper looks good or bad to you, just...

    Hello from Spain

    Thank you all for the welcome! It is an honor for me. PaulG, is nice that you can come to Spain. The Canary Islands are like the Hawaii of Europe (we are far away and everyone comes to have fun :) ). A pleasure for me all these kind words of welcome. Greetings

    Hello from Spain

    Hello from Spain.   My name is Robert and I live in Spain, specifically in the Canary Islands (as Peter Merle, from semillas.de!).   I have been growing peppers for quite a short time, since 2016. I have grown a few different varieties, enough to be a chinense fan and a pseudo baccatum fan. I...
