I bought a small bag of these from a local farmer's market, but can't figure out what they are (yeah, I should have asked). They are hot as hell, but I do like them. Google has not been a lot of help.

Doubtful, Cherry Peppers are sweet with little heat.

Could be a Red Sevina habanero

If true, and OP said they are hotter then hell, I don't know what to say

ETA: It is shaped like a Jalepeno, and they can be red if allowed to remain on the vine longer. They just aren't crazy hotter than hell hot.

It’s true, or at least my jalapeño plants will throw those little stubby ones. Leave them on long enough they’ll turn red. They can get pretty hot though

I mean yeah they're somewhat hot, snd definitely get red if left on the vine.

Wouldn't term them hotter than hell.

I can eat jalapenos all day with no issue. These fonkers are much, much hotter than jalapenos.

Jalapeño peppers can certainly get “hot as hell” dude. Bite in to a raw one of those and it will light your arse up.

On the scale of mild to hotter than hell, Jalepeno of any variety isn't at the highest level.

ETA: I've had red jalapenos like this, raw. They tingle with heat and have a bit of sustainability, but they aren't hotter than hell


Apparently OP doesn't think hell is very hot.

Please check my latest post. And since when is a jalapeno the size of a dime sold at farmer's markets and grocery stores?

It is a pequin pepper as the other poster mentioned. Pequin is hotter than jalapeño by a decent amount.

Shoutout to red stick spice - go buy some pequin chili flakes.

Pequin for the win!

quote:

Pequin peppers are very hot, often 5–8 times hotter than jalapeños on the Scoville scale (30,000 to 60,000 Units). Flavor is described as citrusy, smoky (if dried with wood smoke), and nutty.

This inch-long Caribbean pepper is often sold commercially in the United States under the name Puerto Rican jelly bean, and it packs a mighty heat. Puerto Ricans pickle it in vinegar, garlic, and other ingredients to make a hot sauce called pique, which, like Tabasco, is often brought to the table to garnish foods
