We grow all of our vegetables and since few years we started growing spicy peppers as well. Our most beloved ones at this point are Habanero and some sort of regular looking Mexican chili pepper brought to us by a friend who was there on a business trip.

I personally fell in love with Habanero because of its fruity notes. It's not a pepper I eat fresh often but we make a nice sweet sauce from it that is used way too much in our household.

As am preparing slowly for the next season, I'd love to hear some suggestions on what I should try next. I'd prefer to try peppers with some characteristic taste. I already have my eyes set on Aji Lemon, Sugar Rush Peach, Golden Nuggets. We prefer medium spicy peppers but I've had hotter. I just dislike hot for the sake of hot.

I think I was gifted Chocolate Habanero, but it didn't taste good, and plant was a bit suspicious as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

As in the plant may not have been labeled correctly, or it was a bit dodgy and you couldn't leave your door unlocked?

Someone gifted a plant to me saying it was chocolate hanabero. Am not sure if it was labeled like that. However it didn't have the heat of habanero.

Right on, that will happen. Could have also been a "choc hab" that was open pollinated and crossed unknowingly.

That too. Am assuming it was open pollinated since it was spicy but only about a third.

Is it hot in here or is it just the peppers?
