30,000-50,000 SHU. This amethyst-hued pepper comes with a kick and a twist as it has some sweetness in the flavor profile. It can be enjoyed for both eating and ornamental purposes.
This cayenne out produced my other cayenne colors, and after being on the plant for a long time they eventually ripen from purple to red and taste even better.
Great addition to the garden
I haven't found a lot of information about this variety online. The plants are very prolific. I think purple cayenne is kind of a misnomer. They go from green, to purple, then to red. The peppers actually take a LONG time to ripen in to a deep red. If you pick them before they start to blush/ripen to red, they will not ripen to red but stay purple. I haven't tasted either purple) or the red ripened peppers yet--I look forward to the taste test. I grow cayenne for both cooking and for making into spice powder (or to use as medicine). I'm curious the heat level and flavor in comparison to other cayenne varieties.
I love these. I love the heat and the flavor. I already make some cayenne pepper with it and plan to make pickled peppers. Great choice
