Guajillo.....................Capsicum sp.
(Chili travieso)Spanish for naughty chili
~5,000 Scoville Heat Units
Shiny, shaped like giant Cayenne, deep orange-red at maturity. Good for fresh
consumption, on sandwiches, in salsa and hot sauces. Vigorous, high-yielding
bushes. These are especially suited for cool weather and performed best of all our
pepper trials in the 2000 summer garden. The peppers start out tasting mild, but after
a little aging, they pick up quite a bite.
Tabasco................Capsicum frutescens
~50,000 Scoville Heat Units
Slender fruits, 1 1/2 long. Much sought-after heirloom sauce-making pepper. Very
hot. Best grown in hot, humid conditions, either in the South or in the greenhouse.
