Zavory Habanero Pepper

ContainerTed · July 31, 2009

Traded for this one last fall and just got my first ripe one off the plant. It is supposed to have all the habanero taste, with VERY little of the heat. I haven't cut it yet, but thought I would let you folks see what they look like. Will update on the heat thing later.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it is. I like hot peppers with a bit of heat.

I have one, but it's been a slow grower for me. I got lots of green, but no ripe ones yet. I'm curious about it.

Looks delicious and less heat would be fine with me LoL

So, did you try the Zavory? I picked a couple this afternoon, and just tried one. No heat at all, but it smelled hot when I cut into it. I think I probably should have waited a few more days, because it tasted a bit green still. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about.

I'll let the other one get a bit riper and see if the taste is better.

Blue, I don't normally eat hot peppers. So, when I tasted this one, it was very mild, but I could detect just a tiny bit of heat in it. Just enough to put a slight tingle on the tip of my tongue.

Obviously, I don't have any other Habs to compare to, but I did notice a very distinct taste that was totally different from all other peppers I have had over the years. I think that it will be a good flavor to add to the mild salsa we like here at the Bucket Farm.

Well, now I can't wait for mine to ripen on up!

This whole patience thing is vastly over rated.

Well done, and sounds pretty tasty too.

Ted,
Good to hear it did have a distinctive taste. Are you saving any seeds? Maybe we can swap later on?

So far, only the one harvested. The plant had a huge hornworm almost defoliate it before I caught him. Now the plant has restored its foliage and is "loading up" with lots of fruit (2 or 3 dozen blooms have set). I'll put some pictures of the plant here in a day or so.

Remy, I would like that.

I just picked a couple ripe ones and my wife and I tried it right off the vine. Defiantly has the habanero taste and little to no heat at all.

It sound a bit like a variety that is very poupular here, named Habanero Dulce (Spanish = Sweet Habanero). It also have the Habanero taste, but only little to almost no heat. However the color of the Habanero Dulce is a more light salmon pink/orange color (see pic). Also most of them have a bit bowling pin-like shape, like the one on the left here:

There is a habanero without the heat that has been produced by the new mexico chile pepper institute. Its called Numex Suave Red and Numex Suave Orange. The scoville rating is only 800. I have some of the red, I think-I have never grown it. If I do, Franz, I will send some in your package.
