| I grew a few of these along with some Anaheim\'s. I like them both a lot in my hot sauces. However I could not tell them apart from each other grown side by side. |

| I would not rate these as hot. They are very similar to Anaheims, maybe slightly hotter. The heat varies from season to season depending on the weather and dryness of the growing season. The drawback (like Anaheims) is that they need to be peeled before use. |

| Not at all hot to those of us that buy the hot, not mild or medium salsa. Not bad sliced and cooked in olive oil in the microwave. Very disease free. Yield would be good to excellent. Yield seem to really come on after the peak of hot weather let up. The pepper size got larger as well. These never got any heat in any weather. Meaty compared to some other similiar varieties. Large sturdy plants by end of season. BTW, I never found a reason to peel these, they seemed plenty tender to me? |
