Criolla De Cocina is a traditional Nicaraguan sweet pepper producing medium-sized fruits (7–12 cm) that ripen from green to bright red. The peppers have thin walls, smooth skin, and a pleasantly sweet, slightly fruity flavor. Plants are compact to medium in size and highly productive, making them well suited for home gardens and warm climates.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): 0–500 SHU

(Mild to sweet, with little to no heat.)

Cooking Use:

Excellent fresh in salads and salsas, or sliced into sandwiches and wraps. Its thin flesh roasts and blisters quickly, making it ideal for grilling, sautéing, or marinating. It also dries well for homemade paprika or pepper flakes and freezes successfully for later use.

Great for hot chilli sauce, a chilli jam or a super-charge chilli powder.

Capsicum chinense strains require a great deal of attention during the germination process. Moisture and a constant and consistent heat range must be maintained. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into containers. 

The Aleppo pepper is a moderately spicy variety of Capsicum annuum used as a spice, particularly in Turkish, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Also known as the Halaby pepper, its pods are ripened to a burgundy color, then semi-dried, de-seeded, and crushed or coarsely ground.

Aleppo pepper, also known as Halaby pepper or pul biber, is a popular Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spice made from dried, coarsely ground, deep red chili peppers. It is highly prized for its complex flavor profile that offers more depth than standard crushed red pepper flakes. 

The Peter pepper is a rare, hot chili pepper with a distinctive shape.

Peter peppers are irregularly shaped pods that are 4–6 in long and 2–5 cm in diameter. They have a wrinkled, cylindrical shape with a rounded tip and a cleft. The skin is glossy, waxy, and firm, and the flesh is semi-thick, crisp, and pale green to red. Peter peppers ripen from green to bright red. 

Peter peppers have a bright, vegetal, and sweet flavor with a moderate to hot level of spice. They are similar to jalapeños but slightly sweeter.

Peter peppers have a Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating of 10,000–23,000, which is hotter than a jalapeño. 

The origin of the Peter pepper is unknown, but it is believed to be from Appalachia, United States.

Santaka peppers are 2–3 inches long, thin-walled, and have a tapered teardrop shape. They are green when unripe and turn red when ripe. The skin is thin and wrinkled when harvested. 

Santaka peppers have a Scoville heat rating of 40,000–50,000, which means they are very hot. They have a simple, intense heat that blends well with other bold spices. 

Santaka peppers can be used fresh in stir-fries and soups, or dried into a powder for sauces, chutneys, salsas, and more. They can also be steeped in vegetable oils to infuse the oil with their heat.
