Cielo Rojo Pequin (Red Sky Pequin)

Heat 9

Wild Mexican Chilli Peppers
This is a great hot chilli to dry and have in a bowl on the table for quests to crush on their food as required, great talking point.
This fiery hot Pequin was picked from some wild bushes growing near the Mexican border by a Mexican friend of ours. They were taken to the village and dried in the sun and sent to us for our chilli pals to try. These seeds have not been produced by a dedicated chilli farmer as we say the are from the wild. This is our first year of selling them so lets see what we get.

Indian PC-1
Naga Jolokia????

Chilli Heat Level ???

This striking and very useful hot chilli from Assam an area in India close to the famous city of Tezpur, renowned for bringing us some of the hot varieties of chillies around. The chilli has a cited heat level of 855,000 SHU but it is very doubtful it holds this much heat!!!!  Probably it would be closer to 100,000 SHU if, that. Lots of pepper seed suppliers call it Naga Jolokia by mistake.  According to our informed local experts, the chilli tested with a heat level of 855,000 SHU was actually the Bhut Jolokia which in some parts of India is called Naga Jolokia, Naga being an area and Jolokia meaning Pepper or chilli.  This was the hot chilli tested with a recorded heat level of 855,000 SHU.  Indian PC-1 is a Capsicum annuum. As you can see from the photographs, the Indian PC-1 chilli (AMKA also mistakenly known as the Naga Jolokia) actually bears no resemblance to the Capsicum Chinense family to which all the hottest varieties belong. This is no reason not to grow it but please do not mistake it for the similarly named but much hotter Bhut/Bih Jolokia.
