Product Description

HOT PEPPERS: When Wilbur Scoville first devised a means to test the heat of peppers, his hottest entry then came in at 20,000 units. Habanero and Thai chilies can go as high as 60,000. Compare that to the sweet bell pepper at zero. When hot peppers are consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and release of endorphins. Hot peppers should be eaten with caution!

Jamaican Hot Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper: Very compact, densely foliaged plants bear an abundance of bright yellow or red, thin-skinned hot peppers that are shaped like a tam o' shanter. Actually a type of squash pepper. Interesting shape and spicy taste make this pepper good to eat fresh, pickle, or use as a garnish. 95 days.

I tried growing these on two separate occasions - one in the winter in a heated terrarium in a sunny room (where all the other seeds sprouted and grew nicely), and another in the middle of summer... no luck.

It's been 2 months and I already have 2 big peppers. Plants growing very quickly. I water them a good amount. I wish I had more sun, but live in an apartment so they only get a 1/2 day of sun. If only I had more. Can't wait to eat them. Will probably start drying it out in the next month to make them hotter.

If the seeds grow as fast as you ship, I'll be harvesting these peppers before Thanksgiving.
