Pepper Image	Pepper Name	Heat – Scoville	Comments
	Trinidad Perfume	500	The peppers are incredibly flavourful and aromatic. They are fruity and sweet with a strong citrus flavour. Looks like a yellow habanero, but without the heat.
	Biquinho	500-2,000	Biquinho peppers have a sweet, smoky flavor with a touch of heat. They also have a floral, tropical fruit flavor. They look like little yellow tear drops.
	Poblano	2,000	A shiny dark green skin. Good flavor when roasted.
	Jalapeno	2,000-8,000	Green most of the season, but solid red at the end.
	Chipotle	2,000-8,000	A chipotle pepper is a jalapeño that has been left on the vine to ripen until red, and is then smoked and dried.
	Chile Morita	2,500-8,000	Are distinctly aromatic, but seem pretty hot. I would love to have the flavor of this pepper without so much heat.
	Brazilian Starfish	5,000-30,000	Looks like a minature, red Patty Pan Squash. It is a pepper, not a squash.
	Pequin	40,000-60,000	These are a small, short red pepper that you can buy fresh, but dry well and last. They have distinctive flavor.

[NOTE 09/17/24]: At the end of the growing season last year (2023) I tried three distinct peppers: trinidad perfume, brazilian starfish and the biquinho. I put them in a seafood chowder that I made that included: cod fish, chopped clams, shrimp and bay scallops, with a cream base. The cod fish has a unique fibrous texture. The chowder was very delicious and it was both hot physically and spicy hot, but not too hot. I don’t like really hot peppers, but do like those with a little heat that have unique flavors.

So this season I went up to the State Farmers’ Market in Raleigh each week and slowly at first the peppers began to appear in Ronnie Moore’s vendor space. They separate the peppers both by individual pepper, and also between hot & mild peppers. They charge more for hot peppers.

I don’t recall which of these three peppers I saw this season, but I know I didn’t see all three, even though I asked about them each time and even late into the season, and my last visit, I noted that the number of the different varieties had severely been reduced. [end NOTE]
