Fresh Pods and Dry Powder 🥵🔥😋

Hello Pepper Friends!

I go by Slaszlo and I use he/him pronouns. I am from Minneapolis, MN. I have about 175 unique pepper varieties, all selected by me. Many are heritage cultivars mixed in with a few F1 hybrids. All are tasty and hot regardless of genetics.

I planted a rainbow, but I have a great love for yellow hot peppers. I think they have the best and most accessible flavor.

I eat my pods raw to get a flavor profile. My scale goes from 1-15, I joke (15 usually involves some jumping and screaming, lol). I prefer keeping it around 6-7, which is also my partner's upper limit.

I am cautious when sharing my peppers (not many people in Minnesota like spicy food, much less super hots), therefore I often have a surplus.

I want to start selling pods and powder, which is why I joined this forum. Also, I have very few hot pepper friends, so I'm looking forward to meeting people here.

Thanks for reading my intro! I hope to make many new friends here.

What are your favorite cultivars, in terms of flavor, with low spiciness?

I really enjoy Cherry Bombs. Kinda that classic red Jalapeño flavor/spiciness, but a thicker wall and maybe a little fruitier. I haven't grown a variety I like as much as the ones I get from the farmer's market, though. Gotta save some of those seeds this year!

I also really like Biquinhos, but I have found they really vary in spiciness. The yellow ones I got in a trade are very low in spiciness and have a nice chinense, citrus flavor.

Thanks. I like them both too 🙂 Cherry bombs filled with anchovies and capers, and biquinhos (red or yellow) as a crunchy snack. My biquinhos are completely heatless, while chupetinhos (identical shape) have some heat, I'd like to grow them because I miss some spiciness. Maybe we have some variance in cultivars. Btw my yellow biquinhos taste a lot like pure chinense, sugary, can't feel citrus, maybe some bland apricot.
