Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

My experience with baccatums is rather limited, but of the ones I've had, I REALLY love Orchids/Bishop Hats. They have that wonderful sweet/creamy flavor that I get out of most baccatums. And while they are relatively small for a stuffing pepper, the fact that they can stand upright lends themselves to stuffing easily. I also think it is a plus that they are smaller for a stuffing pepper because you get a higher pepper to stuffing ratio, meaning the pepper flavor shines through better than a pepper with a lower ratio.
My favorite is aji lemon. It is great fresh ,grilled , fried and or dried . It has a crisp textured walls but tin with a lower level heat . The flavor is sweet and spicy . Just the way I like it . Goes great with almost anything .
Birgit's Locoto are also super tasty . Little more heat as well .
Never met a bacc I did not like .

Man, that's a toughie! I love the Aji Pineapple, but those Peppadews and Brazil Pumpkins are among my new favorites, Baccatum or otherwise. Such a cool family of peppers, I'm always pleasantly surprised by their unique flavor profiles, and the heat is very different-feeling as well. Can't wait to try out some new ones down the line!
aji omni-color- very nice fresh fruity flavor cayenne hot
aji pineapple- same as omni-color but a bit better with an undertone of pineapple-hot
aji yellow- hard to discribe just plain wonderful - not too hot
aji colorado- millder with fresh fruit- mild to med
aji lemon drop- quite hot and similar to aji pineapple in many ways except for the pinapple undertone
aji panca- has a a earthy berry-like flavor quite good not hot
bishop crown- very mild and very tasty in many ways good choice
these are all good choices that im sure your wife will like but tmaybe not the very hot ones
thanks your friend Joe

Dig on Criolla Sella (although I haven't grown them for a few years) - medium hot with typical baccatum fruitiness (maybe some lemon flavors), Birgit's Locoto (never grown these) - thanks to romy6, Inca Red Drop - [prolific - used to grow these all the time) and Yellow Bouquet (never grown these either) - thanks to wayright. Not sure why I'm not growing any this year - bad planning on my part!

Thanks Joe, but actually she really does like really hot peppers. The chinense ones just cause all sorts of violent reactions from her. Doesn't matter how much. I really think she is allergic to them. She has no problem with most of my cajun food and the hottest Thai and Indian food, as long as they don't use chinense peppers in them.ajijoe said:
I went with Brazilian Starfish for this season. It's supposed to be delicious and a little hotter than Bishop's Crown. Pretty nifty looking too ^_^

Starfish is good, grew them last year, they are a little like Padrons, though, in that the heat can be startlingly variable between peppers on the same plant. I had several that were probably close to 100,000 SHU (in my estimation), just a searing, long lasting throbbing burn that was very uncharacteristic, even for the hotter C.Baccatums I've tried (such as Aji Cito, and some Hot Lemons at the upper end). Meanwhile, some were probably only 10,000-20,000 SHU, a stark contrast, to say the least. Great sweet/tangy flavor, though, with that fragrant C.Baccatum bouquet that effervesces right up into the nostrils in a big way.
Just a beautiful family of peppers!
aji pineapple.
Prolific, easy to grow, delicious
