Hi All --
Has anyone here ever grown orange cayennes before?
I am growing them for the first time this year, and I have been plesantly
suprised so far. The chiles are bright orange, the plants are very prolific
(and beautiful), and these were the first chiles of the year to ripen.
So, here's the catch -- the chiles aren't hot. They are sweet (not fruity),
juicy, and absolutely delicious -- they are quickly becoming one of my favorite
chiles -- but they aren't even as hot as a jalapeno. They are thicker-fleshed
than a regular (red) cayenne, but otherwise similar in appearance.
So, what gives? Is this just a characteristic of orange cayennes?
Matt
