This Seasons Favorite
Saved seeds from a Chuck Norris Apocalypse Scorpion and was surprised the offspring had purple tinted leaves, something obviously cross pollinated it (unsure what since I grow a ton of dark leaf peppers). The peppers were very large, and even more surprising, had only a small amount of heat, like jalapeno level, I was expecting it to pack a nasty punch. And then the flavor! So robust and delicious, like a roasted red pepper with fruity chinense but none of the bitterness or floral notes.
I put two peppers into a pot of Jambalaya and it flavored the whole thing with barely a glimmer of heat. I didn't think this was going to be worth a grow out but now I'm definitely going to try to stabilize it. I can't handle much heat so this was perfect for me, hoping the next generation can replicate some of these traits.
