Yaki Brown- worth it?

D3monic · Feb 6, 2015

Is it worth growing out for the pods or is this pretty much just about the pretty foliage on this plant? I really can't seem to find much info other than a few pics online. Not even a pod review.

Could anyone with experience growing/eating this one chime in?

Was that supposed to take me to google cause I already did that and all there was is a few vendors and pics

CAPCOM · Feb 6, 2015

Yeah. sorry.

i took your post "I really can't seem to find much info other than a few pics online". literally.

I seen there was a review for yaki blue fawn but not really the same. I even searched forum and one person mentioned having some dried flakes mixed with chocolate habs but other than that not much mentions of it. I kinda take that as a bad sign that the pepper is barely worth mentioning. Seen a few nice pics of the foliage in a glog but no mention on the peppers them selves.

By the way, after watching nigels review for the Cumari do para i'm excited to add that one to the grow this year.

I would grow the yaki brown, may be a while b4 any more info is available.

Yeah. the cumari do para is an awesome little pepper. Its like a giant chinense shrunk down 10x with no loss of heat or flavor. but the heat has a short life of a few minutes.

Return from the dead bump! I would like some info as well and this is another dead end.

BTW, this is how to properly make someone feel like an ass. Not calling you an ass D3monic btw.

Google, the first thing I do when someone posts asking for info on a pepper that isn't something I have never heard of before. Then I just post the link.

Well so farm it's got nice foliage.

Far right

Yaki blue is a great plant... Brown ??? No idea..

New to me this season so I am unable to comment on taste/heat but you are more than welcome to seed should I get a few pods .. interesting that the front YB has no variegated leaves unlike the other two which clearly have that purple tint similar to the Pink Tiger .. to be honest if you put the two together it would be difficult to separate

Trident chilli · May 14, 2015

Growth pushing on and so similar to the Pink Tiger will pot on into 11ltr final pot this weekend

yaki brown is a more brown, while pink tiger is black.

it's pretty standard taste and heat, nothing to write home about.
pretty productive and cool color though.

pods (the brown ones)

on plant

D3monic · May 14, 2015

Thanks, it certainly is a nice looking plant foliage wise. Mine is doing great and looks similar to the pink tigers in color. Hasn't started throwing pods yet.

Not sure if thus is still irrelevant. I'm assuming you've already gotten a chance to try it. Currently excited about my yaki. Pods are forming and looking good.

Yea, they taste better than they sound. Pretty plants too. Will probably make it on my grow list again next year.

bucdout57 · Aug 8, 2015

Give me a few weeks and I'll either agree or disagree with you. Counting the days. Nice looking plant. That I agree.

juanitos · Aug 10, 2015

i grew them this year again, simply because the dark plant is cute lol. I haven't eaten any yet, just dried them.

here's a close up photo. They are a really nice color, not completely chocolate more of a burgundy.

Scuba_Steve · Aug 10, 2015

Mine were one of my first plants to form mature pods. They have been pretty prolific and about average taste and heat.

hottoddy · Oct 21, 2015

I'm a Yaki Brown new fan. As said, the plant is very pretty - mostly purple with green hints. The plants are putting out pods like crazy. They have medium heat (maybe Fatalii level) - just barely snackable off the vine for me. Not too floral, with a slightly sweet, crunchy texture. I'm drying most of min and will grow again next year.
