Hottest Habanero

[lesa]

We have had a very dry summer here, in upstate NY. I was thinking the peppers would be hotter, but instead they seem quite mild...

We grow the red and orange types... But, one thing we have found is that if when opened up, the pepper has a tiny pepper growing inside of it.. that tiny pepper is really hot!!

I suggest the brown ones, they are very good! And thats cool, I don't this I've seen that with habaneros before!

Those little internal pepper growths seem to be called internal proliferations. I'd see them roughly 3% of the time on red habs as a light red growth and a little less often in Chocolate Jamaicans and bells as a (remaining unripe) green growth.

I am a big whimp about hot peppers. I put a little bit of hungarian hots into something and think they are on fire. I don't even use the H- word in my garden just from fear. I take my hat off to you hot pepper folks.
