These little tomatoes resemble green Chinese lanterns due to the thin, papery husk surrounding the fruit. The 1 to 2 inch diameter fruits are firm with a zesty sweet and spicy flavor. Harvest when the fruits turn from green to light yellow and paper husk loosens. Fruits can be easily frozen. Determinate 4 foot plants yield prolifically. Days to maturity: 60. Seeds per packet: 25. Seeds per oz.: 9,500.

Infamous as the hottest chile of all. Estimated to be 30-50 times hotter than the Jalapeno! Closely related to Scotch Bonnet and Jamaican hot chiles.

Thick-fleshed, clean biting heat with a pleasantly high acidity. Often used as a substitute for the Thai Chile in the ratio of three fresh serranos to one Thai. Serrano means "highland" or "mountain".

A Hungarian heirloom, this highly ornamental plant grows 30 to 36 inches tall. Purple veins and beautiful purple flowers highlight its green foliage, while its fruits measure 2 to 3 inches and are similar in shape to Jalapenos. The difference is that they begin black ripening to red and are only mildly hot. 70-80 days from transplant. Photo courtesy of Seed Savers Exchange, Kent Whealy. .
