When I was a boy, my grandma grew these peppers in her yard and would use them for salsa. At the time, I didn't eat any spicy food. Now I regret never trying her salsa.

Never heard of them. I'll add them to my pepper garden next year G

Currently picking two kinds of jalapeños, hot Hungarians and hot cherry peppers. Waiting on the habaneros and cayennes.

My wife goes for the eggplant, zucchini, strawberries etc I grab all the peppers I can find lol

Anyone ever grow shishitos? I'm addicted to those but haven't tried growing them myself.

...Wiki...

Pequin (or piquin) pepper (/pᵻˈkiːn/) is a hot chili pepper cultivar commonly used as a spice. Taxonomically, it is classified within variety glabriusculum of the species Capsicum annuum.[1]

Pequin has a compact habit growing typically 0.3–0.6 meters tall, with bright green, ovate leaves and small berries that rarely exceed 2 cm in length. Like most chilies, the berries start out green, ripening to brilliant red at maturity. Pequin peppers are very hot, often 13–40 times hotter than jalapeños on the Scoville scale (30,000 to 60,000 Units). Flavor is described as citrusy, smoky (if dried with wood smoke), and nutty.[2]


Foliage and ripe fruits
Common uses include pickling, salsas and sauces, soups, and vinegars. The Cholula brand hot sauce lists piquin peppers and arbol peppers among its ingredients.[3]
