Puerto Rican No-Burn (?)

Suze · June 16, 2008

I may just need to get in touch with my source on this and see what she thinks, but here goes. The description I was provided said that Puerto Rican No-Burn is sort of like a red version of Trinidad Perfume.

Trinidad Perfume has little or no heat for me, and is mostly just fruity/smoky. What I am growing does have some heat, just enough to make the lips slightly tingle for a few minutes, but is definitely mild enough to eat raw as long as one avoids the seeds (which are a little hotter). Whatever it is, cross or true-to-type, has a superb intense smoky flavor. So, I'm certainly not complaining even if it is a cross.

I suppose my extremely hot and dry weather this year could be a factor in increasing the heat a little. I did google a bit, but I find conflicting information on this variety both as to shape and heat. Thoughts?
