Pepper Tasting List

its wierd a ripe serrano seems alot hotter than a green one, and a green jalapeno seems hotter than a green serrano, or a sundried serrano seems much hotter than not sundried still and always experimenting.
 
I am growing three different varieties of hot banana peppers and the Inferno Hot Bananas are close to Cayenne heat...and taste absolutely delicious...I canned/pickled three pints and two quarts of banana pepper rings this weekend...
 
I believe that banana peppers are traditionally the sweet version of the Hungarian wax, although the names these days are generally interchangable. Even the inferno pepper I've always called a Hungarian wax type hybrid

I think it depends a lot on what stage of green you pick your peppers. If picked to early there is very little heat, but if picked ripe green they are quite close in heat to ripe reds, and the reds contain more sugars. Sundried wouldn't really add heat but there would be less moisture in them so it would likely be more concentrated
