Habanero's Ripening

It’s a jungle!

It’s like a jungle in the apartment right now! The peppers are ripening and this will be the biggest batch of the summer.

Origin

I planted these peppers at the end of summer 2013, and they have grown well. They are mostly Habanero which I find to be a fantastic variety for making hot sauce.

Heat Factor

Most habaneros rate 200,000 to 300,000 Scoville heat units but I believe mine are hotter!

Check out the Wikipedia article about the Habanero for more info.

Random Fact

The etymology of “ripe” says:

Old English ripe “ready for reaping, fit for eating, mature,”

Told you it was a Jungle!

I am looking forward to harvesting these hot babies in a couple of weeks. Subscribe to my RSS feed to be updated of new blog entries. Thanks for reading!
