The founding members of the Pepper Pack did a tasting of some of the peppers. Here are the results*:
#14 Plant 1:
Taste: Standard small pepper taste like Tabasco and the like.
Heat: Surprisingly warm for such a small pepper. 2 of 3 gave it a medium 1 said medium/hot.
#14 Plant 2:
Taste: Objectionable.
Heat: Deceptive heat, starts mild ends medium/hot. It was the hottest of all the peppers.
#14 Plant 3:
Taste: Best of all the 14s, much like a Tabasco pepper.
Heat: Decent heat in the medium to medium/hot range.
#9 Plant 1:
Taste: Green taste.
Heat: Mild/medium.
#37 Plant 1:
Taste: Very green. Bitter. No redeeming qualities.
Heat: Mild.
*Note: Heat is relative. The heat criteria we used was uncorked grocery store green Jalapenos are very mild. Bulgarian Carrots and Ring of Fire peppers are hot. Habaneros and hotter are in the super hot category.
Also we should note that a couple of people stopped by while we were doing our thing and tried the peppers. The non pepper people off the street so to speak thought the peppers were very hot.
