A firecracker of a thin skinned pepper that clocks in around 20,000 to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). For comparison, Jalapeño's are between 2,500 and 8,000 SHU. More cold-hardy than most peppers, the fuzzy stemmed and leaved plant grows to 4 feet, and can live up to 20 years.
Pods grow upright to 2 inches, and go from green to black to red. If you leave the red ones in place, they'll begin to wrinkle as you see in my photo. There's one near the bottom that's still showing some green and black.
This is about half the peppers on one of the plants from seeds that had a slight miscegenation episode, so some of them have plumped out a bit.
Have chopped a bunch of those wrinkles and have them in the skillet with chopped beef, broccoli, and Lion's Mane mushrooms.

on old voat, I had them labeled as 'Asian' back then. So update your plant tags.
