Anaheim Chili Pepper 4 Plants - Mexican Chile
HOT PEPPERS:When Wilbur Scoville first devised a means to test the heat of peppers, his hottest entry then came in at 20,000 units. Habanero and Thai chilies can go as high as 60,000. Compare that to the sweet bell pepper at zero. When hot peppers are consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and release of endorphins. Hot peppers should be eaten with caution!Anaheim Pepper: A long, thin chili pepper with heavy yields on large upright plants. Also know as the "New Mexican Chile". This moderately pungent fruit is deep green, but turns red at full maturity. Tobacco mosaic virus resistant. Excellent for canning, freezing or drying. A real attention getter.
