Medium Hot Chili Pepper

Medium-Hot Chili Peppers range from 15,001 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. There are so many varieties of chili peppers, and they often have different names depending on region.

Lemon Drop Chili Pepper

15,000-30,000 Scovilles.

This bright yellow, citrus-flavored chile is also known as Kellu Uchu in Peru, where it originated. The pods grow to 2-3 inches long and ½ inch wide with wrinkled skin. Its unique lemon taste has caught the attention of those who love the citrus flavor of habanero but just can’t quite handle the intense heat. The Lemon Drop is a fantastic substitute. Although the heat is intense, it does not linger. Instead, it leaves behind the nice, lemony flavor.

The Lemon Drop can be used in just about any type of dish, especially soups and stir-fries.

Peter Pepper Orange Chili Pepper

5,000-30,000 Scovilles.

This very interesting little chili makes a great conversation piece in the garden or in the kitchen due to its distinctively phallic shape, hence its name. It grows to about 3-4 inches long and 1-1.5 inches wide, and matures to a bright red. They are great for salsas!

All the chili varieties are available in powder form and Flakes (1 to 5 mm)
