Pepper Peter Pepper Yellow

A very hot pepper indeed, it sits very near to the top of the hot pepper scale, above the Jalapeno, and at between 5,000 and 20,000 Scoville units of heat, which parallels the famous Serrano pepper in terms of overall pungency. The taste is similar to the bright, crisp taste of the jalapeño, but is just a fraction sweeter. This rather rude and phallic-looking pepper usually grows to between four and six inches long, and ripens from green to yellow. Although not quite as suggestive as the red form, it has been given the description of "The Most Pornographic Pepper" by Organic Gardening Magazine. Indeed, we were rather reluctant to sell such an offensive-looking thing, even a yellow one, and we hope you will forgive us. Average heat, hotter than "Tabasco" but 10 times less than a "Jalapeno, (+/- 5000 SHU.)
