What Are These?

Like the subject asks -- What have I grown here? They are not hot.

Many thanks,

Looks like Pasilla Bajio.

When fresh, this pepper is called 'Chilaca' it is also known as 'Chile Negro' or Mexican Negro. These 8 to 10 inch long cylindrical peppers are thin walled and start off dark green before ripening to dark brown (75-80 days). They have less than 250 Scoville units and are mainly used dried for their rich, smoky flavoring in sauces. Plants are tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) resistant.

Sounds like they would be ideal to powder and blend with some super hot varieties.

That's what I have done with most of my Aji peppers. 10-12 with some onion, garlic, powder and a few super hots and you have a dust that is tasty and spicy.

Thank you to all!

The ones in the picture are now hanging up underneath my patio cover. I am going to leave the ones still on the plant to ripen before drying them.
