Grande hybrid - 4000-6000 Scoville scale
Pepper taste great, a welcome addition to any meal, it’s pretty to look at and easy to grow even in containers. There are hundreds of varieties of pepper to choose from. They range from no heat ‘not hot’ Bell peppers to melt steel on contact ‘Naga Jolokia’!
Peppers can be picked and eaten at anytime at any size. However the longer they stay on the plant and become larger and more mature usually changing colors from some shade of green to red the hotter they become.
The scoville scale is the standard measurement for pepper hotness.
Many people are sensitive to Capsaicin. This is the chemical that makes a pepper hot. If you are one of these people always wear rubber or latex gloves when picking and handling peppers.
If your peppers have become to hot you can cool them down a bit by removing all seeds and the white membrane surrounding the seeds.
NuMex twilight is a great little container growing pepper.
