    Each species of pepper has its own unique flavor profile with each color also influencing the taste of the pepper. For me, I love the Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, and Capsicum pubescens the most. Methods of preparation definitely influence the flavor as well. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.I love the variegated jalapenos, the chocolate jalapeno aka the Azabache created by hybridizer Stephen Van Gelder.
    Poblanos are another of my favorite you showcase. A nice mild pepper with a rich taste. Variegated and very colorful poblano are also right up my alley. So much is about the looks as well as the taste.

    I have always loved eating fresh cayenne pepper with a sandwich! Thanks for giving us a heat scale! I bought my first poblano, and now I think I know how I am going to cook it! I grow cayenne every year, and can eat a handful a day in the summer for lunchtime sandwiches with sliced tomatoes!
    Love jalapeño, use them for eating whole, with sandwiches, or as cayenne, pickling in vinegar for sliced or whole. I love the pepper juice with my pinto beans and cornbread! ( a note: the Serrano was at my local Walmart for the first time, and wheweeee!!! They are hot! I did use a small amount in my last pot of chili, and some homemade vegetable soup. It added a nice heat to them!, but by themself with a sandwich, ouch!)😂😂

    I'm in the game mostly for spiciness. The most mild pepper I grow is Chocolate Habanero, which I can just eat fresh, I like the taste. All the rest are over a million Scoville, that I turn into powder, freeze, pickle, make sauces. If you ever go to South Korea, you'll need all the tolerance to heat you can get ))

    My experience with drying peppers is to let them become fully ripe before drying them. The green ones tend to get spots or become rotten before they get a chance to dry out. It also brings out the best heat and flavor.

    Quick guide to spanish powder chillies:
    Pimentón de Murcia: made with sun dried ñora peppers, our sweetest pepper and our most common dried pepper. Not spicy.
    Pimentón de La Vera: really common powder. From Extremadura. Slowly dried (it can take more than a month) with light smoke without sunshine. Made with different varieties to create three blends: dulce (sweet), agridulce (lightly spicy) and picante (spicy).
    Pimentó tap de cortí: from the balearic islands, made with the pepper that has the same name. Sun dried. Used to give flavour to the sobrasada, like a soft chorizo. Not spicy.
    Pimentón de Candeleda: from Castilla la Mancha. Dried slowly with smoke without sunshine. Made with a blend of varieties. It's judged by its quality as colouring powder. Not spicy.
    All the pimentones are seedless. The smoky flavour is soft in these peppers and they can't be used to give a chipotle like flavour.

    I make salsa from Jalapeno`s for my mild salsa and I make a hot batch with the one I made by adding serrano`s to the mild . Its a quick short cut if you need both hot and mild . There are 5 of us and some like it hot and some don`t . My daughters boyfriend said I`m Mexican and I like the hot stuff . I made the Salsa Verde with the fried Serrano`s in oil that you put in the blender adding salt and oil only . He slathered that all over his food and could not eat it . The dog would not even eat it . LOL I told him to be care full with that .

    Now if your going to grow peppers, grow the ones that are your favorites ! Some time like jalapenos there cheaper just buy them at your store. On the other hand Orange habaneros are like 4 bucks for 10 pods. So its cheaper to grow that pepper! AND the ones you can't buy at the store, Its cheaper to grow cayenne rather than buying it at the store! So that another 1 i grow ~1 more example Green chilis! Only get the can ones at the store, So that 1 to grow as well !

      Texas Cooking Thanks for your reply! I’m actually an American studying abroad in Japan for a year right now. I heard you mention “Japanese chili’s” but I can’t seem to find any fresh hot peppers in supermarkets here (food here is very rarely spicy.)
      I’ll look a little harder, but I’m definitely excited to go home and try drying out some peppers of my own!

    • @texascookingtoday5873
      @texascookingtoday5873  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Japanese chili's are a type of chili not necessarily a chili grown there.
      You might consider ordering them online and having them shipped to you. Even fresh chili's have a long shelf life so shipping shouldn't be a problem. I recommend trying the Banana Pepper, Anaheim, and Poblano first.

    Wonderful, thank you! Sorry if this was asked before but are you drying open-air at room temp, or using a dehydrator? Also a tip about getting the capsaicin oil off your skin if you don't have gloves; you can rub undiluted dawn detergent (no water) into your skin then rinse off well with warm water. That removes the volatile oils from even my very sensitive irish skin. No burn. Last thing - from your pronunciation of "scoville" people may think you are trying to say scofield (like the theologist) as that is how you're pronouncing it, just FYI.

    The extremely hot, dangerous orange one looks similar to the harmless orange one top left, between the red and yellow ones. I am just getting accustomed to jalapenos. Since I found out the health benefits. Getting to like spicy food as well. Taking it easy and cautiously seems to be the best way to proceed. Even bell peppers have very much different strengths of goodness in them, I heard. Green being the lowest strength of goodness not hotness and yellow being the best. I think I got that, correct? Always best to check though too. Even jalapenos vary in goodness by their color. Wow, they really changed as they dried out. Are they still ok to consume after drying out that much?

    Capsaicin is fat soluble not water soluble. It can be absorbed into starch. If you rub a little oil into your hands and then use dish detergent to wash it off. Or just don't mind the burn. I personally like it if I make something with peppers and I rub it inadvertently in my eyes. I makes them water a little and feel comfortably warm. It isn't uncomfortable for me. I guess I'm just warped that way. I also like to eat whole habañeros too. They're good with a shake of salt or dipped in vinegar. I got a hot pepper paste from a family friend last year that is the hottest I have ever eaten. It's a paste made from some native Senegalese chilli type and the locals call it saddam. It is so potent it etches a golden color into tempered glass. Very hot, but a nice rounded smokey flavor to it as well. It tastes very similar to a Bhut Jaloka, but with a more wooden or smokey flavor. If you like real hot, it's awesome. There is a powdered form that you may find in an African Grocery store called Pilli pilli. I will warn you though. Ex Lax is not ready for Pilli pilli. It will empty you out. But it is delicious if you like above 100,000 Scoville food.
    When I'm just cooking for me alone, a little ground beef, onion, salt garlic, pilli pilli and some olives and olive juice. Goes great with rice.

      Any idea how I can reduce the heat on these to use them in cooking? I have discovered that using coconut milk or powder helps, and so does frying chilies.
      My wife and I eat spicy food as we have Pakistani roots but this is too much to handle, even for us.
      Thanks!

    I grow chilies as a hobby and for culinary use. They all grow quite well up here in Canada. Years ago, I went on a road trip to the southern states and in a grocery store I bought a packet of Pequins. Months later, back in Canada, out of curiosity I planted a few of the tiny seeds. I swear that ALL of the little beggars germinated! That got me started on growing other varieties. Last summer I had ALL of the official world's hottest record holders in my back yard (who would have guessed that one of the record holders was from England!...Dorset Naga) and I got loads of what I call "stupid hot" peppers. Way too hot for most culinary uses though. I have grown Guajillos up her and some very interesting South American varieties. The Aji Charapita produces peppers that , at best, are about 3/4 the size of a regular green pea but they have a bite!

      I can't believe there are not more comments on this. For being a professed knowledgeable person about chile peppers and heat, you'd think he'd know the words 'Scoville Heat Units'.
      He misspoke many times, not just once.

    Just found your site today. Very informative and descriptive of chili's I didn't know about. I've lived in Arizona all my 80 years except for the first 10. I grow my own chilis in my garden. Anaheim's and Poblanos are best for cooking, sauces and dips. For the past three years I have grown the Ghost, Carolina Reaper and Trinadad Scorpion just for giggles and laughs. These are NOT for human consumption. I did make a pot of chili sauce with a equal mix of the Amaheim's and Carolina Reapers. Canned crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic salt, pepper, onion and cilantro. Brought to a slow simmer outside on my three burner propane stove. Wife didn't even want them in the house, let alone cooking on the stove. She said the fumes would rust everything in the house made of metal and kill the cat. Very pretty jar of salsa, very deadly. I dipped the spoon into the mix, shook off all that would fall off and licked the spoon. Tasted marvelous for the first 1/4 second. Not recommended for normal people. Not even my prior adventures with the Ghost Chili could compare with this. Should just be used to make pepper sprays for bears and criminal repellant. I'll be sure to watch for more of your videos.

I’m a particular fan of the Hungarian Hot Wax, a mild, largish chilli, great with stewed pork and green lentils or added to a jar of pickled onions or beetroot.

    I learned so much from this video! I never knew that Chipotle is dried Jalapeno.. Also interesting to know that where I live the go to chili people use when they cook (chili in pretty much anything that has a sauce or stuffing, even young kids eat all the spicy things) is basically habanero. So when you said it's commonly used for cooking, that really rings true for me.150K scoville units is apparently our baseline; and then often we add extra hot sauce or pepper as we call it to the dish upon serving or serve with a sambal on the side, made from an even spicier chili. In dishes were its more about the aroma we often cook the whole chili with the dish, make sure it doesnt break or burst lest your food becomes inedible, and remove before serving.

    ok, so from my short experience you are safe when handling the hottest chilli with your bare hands as long as you don´t break the skin. When drying, it is useful to slice the chilli in half. The idea is that it won´t get moldy from the inside and is going to dry faster.
