Description

The listing, 100 Hot Cherry Bomb Pepper Seeds has ended.

For those of you who like it hot, get 100 seeds to grow these wonderful Hot Cherry Bomb Peppers (Capsicum annuum) in your garden.

Producing 30-50% more than open pollinated species, these have a thick wall and are great for pickling.

* Best grown in zones 3-11

* 65 days to harvest

* Transplant outdoors 3-4 weeks after frost

They start off sweet like a Bell Pepper but don't let them fool you; the heat will creep up on you after that!

I found out first-hand just how hot when I took the seeds out of mine and my hands started stinging. After washing my hands I thought I got all the capsaicin off and an hour later my eyelid was itching so I scratched it and my eye started burning!

Just in case you don't have any gloves and this happens to you, take some milk or cream and rub it on your hands and dab it in your eye and that will cut the burning almost immediately.

Questions & Comments
Original
I'm thinking of making some salsa for my son out of the ones I shelled. He loves hot pepper stuff, and when he was a toddler used to just take a spoon and eat it out of the bowl when we went to mexican restaurants.

There seems to be a new craze on Youtube where people do these challenges to eat the hottest peppers they can, then film it and report on it. I don't know how they can stand it. I like medium hot peppers but some of the ones growers are developing right now seem only designed to be used as chemical weapons, LOL. I'm curious to know how many of the hottest ones have real usage in cooking.

These are rated somewhere in the middle but are still pretty hot. I'll have to add lots of tomatoes and possibly bell peppers to my recipe. Still researching whether cooking reduces the heat somewhat. Some salsas are cooked and some raw, so that might make a difference. Want to make it somewhat hot but not have his mouth burning for hours or days afterward. That would not be a good experience. If any of you have experience cooking with various peppers I would love to hear from you if you have any tips.
