I've lately been enjoying planting my own hot peppers and making sauces. In trying to find more info about some random peppers, I stumbled upon this site and was pleasantly surprised to see a giant community of others that do the same thing! I am no seasoned expert, I just dink around in the garden and kitchen. Thanks to this site, I've identified a mystery pepper in my garden and started my first fermented hot sauce. I look forward to swapping some knowledge and presenting some Brazilian heat into the discussion!

Welcome to thp............

From Mountain Grove, Missouri. Feel free to ask any questions you might have, Brazil is a beautiful country with plenty unusual wild pepper species, should you ever run across some wild peppers that might be indangered by extinction please let me know. This group is a lot of fun with lots of interesting people.Currently, I am having some kind of sickness problems with my plants, which I haven't quite figured out yet. But I have pimenta-cumari (yellow small ones, medium heat), malaguetas (small, elongated and red, high heat), dedo-de-moca (large, red pods, low heat), something I think is a red scotch bonnet (looks like a deflated red balloon, oh-it-burns heat), and an identified one (yellow, small, elongated, medium heat). Oh, and I had jalapenos, but I think the plant finally succumbed. I'll try to post some pics later!Slizarus said:
