Approximately 30,000 – 50,000 Scoville Heat Units

(Medium-hot, similar to a hot cayenne or tabasco-type pepper)

Believed to be derived from ornamental Capsicum annuum breeding lines, with strong influence from Asian chili varieties. While not tied to a single traditional region, it is commonly associated with ornamental pepper development programs and is popular among growers in Asia and North America.

Great for ornamental display, fresh salsas, drying into flakes or powder, and adding color and heat to dishes.

The Cascadura Poblano Sweet Pepper is a unique, mild variety combining the deeply lobed, pumpkin-like shape of Cascadura types with the broader, slightly elongated form of a poblano. Fruits are thick-walled, glossy, and ripen from green to rich red. The texture is firm and juicy, making it excellent for stuffing, roasting, grilling, or fresh slicing.

Flavor is rich and slightly earthy like a poblano, balanced with a gentle sweetness and no bitterness. It holds up well to cooking and develops a deeper, almost smoky sweetness when roasted.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): 0 – 500 SHU (very mild to no heat)

This makes it ideal for those who enjoy poblano-style flavor without the spice.

Yes, the Cascadura pepper is a type of Poblano/Ancho pepper, often described as a high-quality, Brazilian variant of the classic Mexican pepper. It is specialized for its sweet flavor, thick walls, and high productivity. 

Type: Capsicum annuum (Ancho/Poblano type).

Origin: Brazil.

Flavor/Heat: Mild to no heat (0 Scoville Heat Units), with a sweet, robust flavor.

Appearance: 3–5 inch, plump, and deeply lobed, heart-shaped fruit (resembling a pepper-like pumpkin).

Usage: They are often used green for roasting, stuffing, and grilling, but they turn a rich, glossy red when mature.

Small, compact plant (about 60 cm / 2 ft tall) produces loads of 6–9 cm red fruits. 

Excellent for container growing. Determinate. Matures in about 70 days.

A striking heirloom chili known for its dramatic color change, the Buena Mulata pepper matures from deep purple to pink, orange, and finally bright red. Slender and slightly curved, it grows 5–7 inches long with a smooth, glossy skin. The flavor is mildly smoky with a touch of sweetness, making it excellent for sauces, drying, or fresh use.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): 30,000 – 50,000 SHU

Comparable to cayenne-level heat—medium-hot with a noticeable kick but still very usable in cooking.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. 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 large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are yellowish-orange. 

Stems: Thick, club-shaped, pale green to yellowish, firm, crisp, and succulent.

Leaves: Usually lighter green, pliable, with prominent midribs, but tougher than the stem.

Overall: Grows tall like a leafy plant but is harvested for its substantial stem. 

Stem: Mild, refreshing, slightly nutty, subtly sweet, with earthy and vegetal notes.

Leaves: Mild, green, vegetal. 

Preparation: Peel the outer layer to reveal the tender interior; it can be eaten raw or cooked.

Raw: Sliced thin for salads, dipped in hummus.

Cooked: Stir-fried, steamed, grilled, roasted, or pickled; it holds up well in hot dishes.
