Trinidad Perfume peppers are a sweet, flavorful, and aromatic pepper that are similar to habanero peppers but with little to no heat: 

Trinidad Perfume peppers are glossy yellow and lantern-shaped, and can grow up to 2 inches long. They mature from green to a golden-orange color. 

Trinidad Perfume peppers have a smoky, citrus flavor with notes of apricot and melon. They are a good source of vitamin C and beta carotene. 

Trinidad Perfume peppers can be eaten raw in salads, cooked in sauces, stuffed, or roasted. They can also be used to make salsa or pepper powder.

Their name means "little beaks" and it's easy to see why. This diminutive and sharply-tapered variety of chili pepper is one of the stars of the Spanish table. Have you ever tried them?

These peppers are simultaneously sweet, spicy, and smoky thanks to some time spent over wood fires after harvesting. The slow-roasting also cooks away much of the water in the pepper, concentrating and intensifying the natural flavors. 

The Spanish Piquillo pepper (a.k.a. the little beak pepper) is usually seen coming out of a jar. This sweet pepper with modest heat –nearly imperceptible– has both smoky and tart undertones. It received a European PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) and cannot be commercially grown outside its Navarra, Spain region, but we have home garden seeds available for you to grow them in your own garden.

Orange cayenne peppers are a hybrid variety of chili pepper that are larger and hotter than standard cayenne peppers, with a more vibrant color and smooth skin: 

Orange cayenne peppers are long, slender, and conical, with a pointed tip. They are smooth and glossy, and turn from dark green to bright orange as they ripen. 

Orange cayenne peppers have a fruity and citrusy flavor, and an intense heat that dissipates quickly. They can range from 30,000–50,000 units on the Scoville scale, which is 5–10 times hotter than a jalapeño. 

Orange cayenne peppers can be eaten fresh or cooked, and can be used in salads, salsas, soups, or with chicken or pork. They can also be dried and sprinkled over meats, stews, and rice dishes.

Fushimi Pepper Seeds – This traditional Japanese sweet pepper is delicious when eaten right off the plant! It has crispier skin and texture than its companion the Shishito pepper. The thin walls and bright green color make it very popular and widely used in Asian cooking, especially in tempura. These are generally picked and used when they are green, but you can also let them ripen more to a nice red color. 

Fushimi Peppers can be harvested earlier than most other peppers, and are very prolific the entire season, so you'll be harvesting them all summer. You can cook these up with a little sesame oil and salt in a hot frying pan, they are also great when grilled or pickled! 

Fushimi pepper plants produce a heavy crop of long 6" narrow pods. Plants are 24" tall and great for container gardens. Easy to grow in full sun and fertile soil. Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated

Pasilla is the dried form of the Chilaca chile and means little raisin in Spanish. This refers to its appearance with dark brown wrinkled skin. Use this pepper fresh for enchilada sauce or salsas. Use it dried and powdered in Mexican mole sauces. This heirloom is easy to grow. 

Have you used Pasillas before?  They’re a workhorse chile that will frequently pop up in traditional Mexican sauces and salsas.

Like most dried chiles, they have a different name than their fresh counterpart.  So to get a Pasilla chile you need to start with a ripe Chilaca chile.  De-hydrate it and you’ve got a Pasilla on your hands.

You may also see Pasillas referred to as Pasilla Negro chiles or Chile Negros.Narrow 8-10" peppers are mildly hot with a sweet flavor when fresh, and a rich smoky flavor when dried.
