Albanian Red Hot
C. Annuum
Aprox. 50,000 – 100,000 SHUAnother corker of a corker…The Albanian Red Hot pepper is a rare heirloom variety from the Albanian-Macedonian region that was discovered by Pepperlover. They had seeds sent to them by a Turkish friend who says that it is famously used by Turkish villagers in making their local chilli powder. This is what has been said about it and we can only agree wholeheartedly. “Very sweet, almost cherry like sweet with rich long lasting taste of acidic-heat without any bitterness. By all means, this pepper is a true treasure, when we used it fresh it was mouthwatering, when we made some into powders, it has its own unique sweet-lightly acidic and sour flavor which we didn’t experience in other peppers. No need to smoke this pepper, it has its own woody/mushroomy aroma.”
This type of skin is referred to as “vezeni” (meaning “embroidered”) and the longer you leave on the plant the more embroidered it gets. The Albanian Red Hot grows to around 20cms long and 3-4cms wide, so if you like your chillies big, flavorsome, easy maintenance and super productive go no further.

Anaheim
C. Annuum
500 – 2000 SHUThe Anaheim chilli is one old time classic that has a versatility in cooking that is unrivaled. It’s a mild, medium sized chilli growing to 15-20cms long and 3-4cms long. Americans can’t get enough of them and they are one of the most common chilli’s used in many foods and recipes. This is no wonder given that the Anaheim chilli is named after the California city of Anaheim. Raw Anaheim chillies are bright, succulent and have a great peppery flavour. When cooked they take on a whole new depth of rich, sweet tanginess. If you’re still not convinced this is one for you just imagine…biting into a Relleno which is when the pepper is roasted, stuffed with gooey cheese and then coated in egg and fried. Mmmm Mmmm. Anaheim chillies are said to pair well with cheeses, pork, poultry, corn, tomatoes, eggs, black beans, and spices such as cumin and corriander. Well we think they go well with just about anything really. They seem to like the cooler weather and when they get going they are great producers.

Bad Brains
C. Chinense
400,000 – 500,000 SHUI’m BAD to the bone and pretty awesome looking too. The Bad Brains chilli is an accidental cross discovered by the grower extraordinaire Wes Lane. Its most likely a cross with a Fatalli Yellow and possibly the Yellow Brainstrain. With that sort of heritage it just has to be a winner. We love how it looks but its the flavour that is a stand out – sweet and thin walled it tastes very much like a fatalii with a tad more heat. The plant grows to about 100 cm tall in a pot and the pods are 8-10 cm long and 3cm wide. Another super prolific chilli variety we cant recommend enough.

This chilli pepper is an interesting one obtained from THSC. The Banjul Markets Gambia Pepper is said to originate from Gambia in Africa and it is stunning in its full glory.
The Gambia chilli pepper is very prolific with the pods ranging from creamy white to yellow to orange to red when fully ripe. Heat wise they are hot but not super hot with a lingering tongue burn. Flavour wise it is slightly sweet and a tad salty. We use them a lot in curries as the soft skin melts away easily in any dish.
