Aleppo (80-90 days) Capsicum annum Hailing from Aleppo, Syria, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities (since the 6th century BCE). We are pleased to introduce this heirloom from the old Silk Road and consider our brothers and sisters in Syria whose lives have been disrupted by the civil war there and envision peace prevailing. Although common in the Middle East, its use in the United States outside Armenian, Syrian and Turkish immigrant communities was rare until the 20th century. Typically used dried, its burgundy pods possess a fruity, raisin-like flavor with undertones of cumin. Plants can grow to 4 feet tall, so staking is necessary at times. Fruits are a deep brick red, 4-6” long, with a blunt-lobed tip reminiscent of a bell peppers lobes. 10,000 SHU. HEIRLOOM. DBF Packet: (2/5 g ≈ 60 seeds) Bulk: 1g ( ~100 seeds) ...

PEPPER - Chimayó Capsicum annuum (75 days) This was shared with us by seed grower, Sebastian Aguilar, who farmed in New Mexico where this was a popular variety. Chimayó chilies are unpredictable. A single plant might produce some chilies as long as six or seven inches and many more that are shorter; a few might be straight and skinny, and some will be bent oddly into curlicues. Delicious flavor. Chimayó chilies make great red Chile sauce. It tastes sweet and then hot. SHU – 4-6,000. Packet ( 2/5 g ≈ 30 seeds) 1 g ( ~100 seeds)...

Fish Capsicum annum (80 days) This unique variety made its way to shellfish cookery houses around Chesapeake Bay in the 19th century via African-American seed stewards. Plants grow to 24” tall and have lovely variegated green and white foliage and immature fruits. Fruits ripen from green/white to orange brown then red. Has a wide range of heat from jalapeno level to cayenne. SHU = 5000 -30,000. Packet (2/5 g ≈ 60 seeds) Bulk (1 g ≈ 170 seeds) From William Woys Weaver's description in Mother Earth News: "The origins of the Fish Pepper are obscure. The Aztecs had a variety of pepper called White Fish Chili described in the 1569 Florentine Codex of Spanish friar Bernardino de Sahaguin (1963, 68). A pepper with this name existed in the early nineteenth century, but it is not certain that it was the one under discussion. All that has been ascertained thus far is that the Fish Pepper shown in color plate 65 was an African-American heirloom that began as a sport or mutation of a common serrano pepper sometime during the 1870s. Over time it became a fixed variety, but it was never sold commercially. Seed was acquired by my grandfather from Horace Pippin, who said that the variety originated near Baltimore. By 1900, throughout the region stretching from Washington to Philadelphia, Fish Peppers were raised almost exclusively in the black community for use in oyster and crab houses, and especially for dishes using terrapin. It was one of those “secret” ingredients favored by cooks and caterers to spike a recipe with invisible heat, for the Fish Pepper was used primarily when it was white, and it could be dried to retain that color. This feature was a culinary plus in the days when cream sauces reigned supreme."...

Pepper, Ghost aka Bhut jolokia (100-120 days) Capsicum chinense x fructescens In 2007 the Guinness Book of World Records awarded this interspecific cross of two very spicy peppers with the hottest chili in the world award. It is 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce and roughly 10 times hotter than a habanero pepper, or 50 times hotter than a cayenne! The Ghost pepper is rated at 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). In 2013 the Carolina Reaper stole the hottest chili crown at 1.5 million Scovilles. Now the Ghost is number 7. Originally from Northeastern India it is a cross between two landrace chilies Capsicum chinense & Capsicum fructescens and is closely related to the Bangladeshi pepper named "Naga Morich". Ripe peppers measure 2 to 3" long and 1" wide with a red, yellow, orange, or chocolate color. Plants grow tall (up to 48"). In northeastern India, the peppers are smeared on fences or incorporated in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance. Chili grenades made from Bhut jolokia were successfully used by the Indian Army in August 2015 to flush out terrorist Sajjad Ahmed, who was hiding in a cave. Please exercise caution when handling these seeds as they pack a whallop! packet: 2/5 g (~30 seeds) ...
