If you could only grow ONE pepper what would it be?

If you could only grow ONE variety of pepper what would it be?

Right now, I'm thinking Chocolate Habs.

 

[Smitty]

? Yellow brain strain.

 

[jimhaleii]

toss up between 7 pot douglah, fatalii, and trinidad scorpion...leaning towards fatalii

 

[JHR]

Yellow moruga or HP22B-A

 

[DocNrock]

Something cool and out of the ordinary, great flavor, superhot status, very flexible (fresh, sauce, powder, smoked or not, etc.). Probably Yellow Brain.

 

[Proud Marine Dad]

Jalapeno or Serrano as I think they are the best tasting and most versatile.

 

[catherinew]

Purple, Peach, or Red Bhut. I like the flavor.

Peach Bhut

 

[FireEater101]

As someone who has honestly not eaten any peppers hotter than a Hab or grown any superhots I give my vote to the Serrano Pepper. For me my one plant this year has churned out harvest after harvest of awesome peppers, good heat and very versatile. I made salsa tonight and kicked up one batch with them and it had a nice burn.

 

[Silver_Surfer]

A Manzano that produced baseball sized pods year round.

 

[cmpman1974]

I actually agree with Silver Surfer! Their flavor is exceptional and useful in so many ways, Outside of that, Orange Thai probably as I use them endlessly.

My answer will probably always be the cayenne. Really enjoy a lot of the new peppers I am growing this year, and a lot of the ones I have grown for many years, but I have to go cayenne. Can't help it, I am a creole kind of guy.

Recently got some orange thai for next year. Really looking foward to them.
My Jamaican hot chocolates are pretty damn yummy.
Leaning toward those or a yellow 7 of some sorts, as i love the yel 7 LRGs and yel brains.

I love the taste of jalapenos , but when ever i have grown them they have no heat at all , but the ones you get on subway have some nice heat , i just need to find some with heat to them.

 

[megamoo]

Despite my attempts last season the hottest variety I have actually grown and eaten is Orange Hab. I found the jalapenos I've grown tasty but not exceptional.

I like the Orange Thai and Aji Lemon taste better. Got tons of superhot starts going so might change my mind this season.

 

[Arenal Botanical Garden]

To use every day, in every dish, for everyone ? Poblano. Hands down.
Here's what you see in every meal here. I kick it up by using poblano instaed.

 

[judohero]

im going to jump on the Peach Bhut band wagon. had one of these for the first time last week. great flavor and it has a good punch to it.

 

[Dulac]

Yellow 7 pot. I love the flavor!

 

[Proud Marine Dad]

Maybe you should try a hotter cultivar such as the Biker Billy Jalapeno. I have not tried them but other people have said they were hotter than a Cayenne.

 

[Indiana_Jesse]

I'd have to flip a quarter between a Jalapeno and Serrano, then the winner will face Aji Amarillo in a coin toss.....
