Chacoense crispbread!

It's -5 C outside, but sunshine inside when I make a crisp bread with my Capsicum chacoense. One could say that the sunshine is stored in the chile peppers :-)

Capsicum chacoense

One of my favorites. Yes, I know. I say that about many chile pepper varieties. This one is a beauty.

Small pods with good heat and peppery taste. The pods fall off easily.

Soon

Hello little friends! Soon you are in my stomach :-)

From left to right. Serrano, chacoense, dedo de  moça. Yum!

Finally some ripe chiles

After the strong winds this spring, when most of the plants looked half dead, I could not expect to see ripe pods in early July. It's amazing to see how fast the plants recover.

Dedo de moça
My dedo de moça is from last year, so it has thick woody stems, and is probably 1,75 meter tall. I keep it in a big pot, so it's not easy to move it. Therefore I had to take this picture through the kitchen window.

 

Serrano
And my first serrano has turned red. We will probably make nachos tomorrow, and I can't wait tasting this one.

Capsicum chacoense (CAP 1153 / 96)
Also a plant from last year. I really love these tasty hot tiny chiles.

Rocoto manzano grande (red)
This is an interesting plant. It does not grow tall, but it grows sideways. So it occupies more than a meter on the balcony. The flowers are the biggest flowers I've seen on a Capsicum.

Tabasco
Another one from last year. Last year it produced only a couple of pods. But this year it looks more promising.

Rocopica
My rocopica is fantastic! Last year it produced hundreds of pods. And this year looks like it's going to be the same. Superhot small fruits!
