Super Hots for Taste

9 years ago

I have been eating each variety of my super hots that I have grown this year and I have noticed a very similar "perfume" Tate from most of them. It's hard to explain the taste but it's similar to a habanero I guess. Does anyone know of any super hots that have a different bite to them? I'm kind of looking to grow something that has more a smokey flavor other than the fruity perfume taste.

7 Pod Douglahs are smokey so are Chocolate Morugas,you cant go wrong with Brown Butts ether. Some Reds have a more fruity flavor.
You could always throw what you got in the smoker I do some every year. I got all 3

I have experienced with Scorpion Moruga, Ghost Yellow,Ghost Red and many other super hot/medium hot. I like only the organic Red Ghost's flavor and taste. A ripe red ghost flavor you can smell it without touching it. If you touched it without any protection it would burn your hands. Dry one if you kept inside the room without proper packing or sealing you would get hiccup. I am talking about the products from its original place :-). The taste could be different according to the growing conditions of the plants. Before I was not very serious about the taste, I thought the same variety could be the same taste but I am wrong. I have few Snow White plants one of them is in a 7 gl container it is a very big strong plant, the other three are in about 1 liter containers. They are all same age. The pods from the 7 gl taste so good, soft, juicy and very sweet flavor and hotter than from the 1 lt containers' plants. The pods from the one liter container taste is disgusting, I hate it. Caelian

Thanks for the feedback. I've sold a couple here and there, the problem is where I live even though I can occasionally find someone who likes to play with fire, it's not often, nor do they need a "lot." Though I may try to find one that's a little busier and try selling a few. I'll also check over at that other forum as well to see if I can get any fun ideas.

7pot madballz (the brown variant) has the deepest, smokiest flavor of any pepper I've ever tried.

Mako Akokasrade is not a superhot, but is quite spicy. It has a very different burn and flavor. The burn is not to the lips or front of the tongue, but to the back of the tongue. The flavor I find difficult to describe, but it is not like any other pepper that I have tried. I wouldn't call it smoky; it is earthy.

Rare African pepper. If you can find seeds, grow it.

What did you grow?

I really hate that overwhelming perfume flavor, the kind found in most Habaneros.

I prefer the flavor of the Bhut Jolokias, Red, Yellow, Peach, Chocolate...but I know that some prefer the other Hab, Naga flavor.

Chocolate Habanero, however, does have a smoky profile and intense heat.

It always amazes me as how some of you guys describe super hot peppers taste in minor details. I think as some musicians with well trained ear can tell if a note is like 10 cents off, so can a trained palate of a chilihead. I can tell the aroma by smelling a cut pepper, to some extent but when I chew on it, the intensity of the heat is such that my palate as well as part of my brain that receives the signal are numbed and only identify with the heat. LOL

Green man I agree with the chocolate habanero. I absolutely love them. They are one of my favorites for taste. Very fruity and not too hot. Seysonn it's good to hear from you. I remember when I first joined gardenweb you were one of my frequent people to follow up. I learned a lot from you and DMForcier. Scorpion john I didn't know they had a Trinidad Douglah. I grew the 7pot Douglah and I think that is one of the varieties I havnt eaten yet Bc I'm afraid to bite into it. I will look for those seeds. I got my little brother into hot peppers so I want to help him grow a bunh of cool varieties

Trinidad Douglah is 7 Pot Douglah, as far as I know.

My buddy and I just ate another Douglah last night...I took him a gift bag of garlic and superhots (Bhuts, Douglah, and Reapers) from the garden.

After the Douglah, we sliced up a fresh lemon and had wedges....the flavor was excellent, sweet. Try it! Not only does the acid in the lemon cut the pepper oil, but the pepper blows out the receptors in the tongue and renders the flavor of the lemon sweet.

You can grill the chilies for a smoky flavor - that's what I do, and I make a sauce from the grilled chilies that has a very good smoky flavor. I use Mesquite charcoal and wood in my BGE, and I grill garlic and a mixture of Habanero plus mild chilies for the sauce. I recently found a good grill basket at Sur La Table for holding the chilies on the grill.
