BIG Pepper Thread 1/🧵

I grew over 29 varieties of peppers in 2025. This thread reviews growth/productivity, cold tolerance and gives an honest detailed description of taste (fresh, dried and how it blends with other ingredients when cooking).

I hope people will find it useful for reference.

A collection of jars filled with various dried peppers, including ají panca, milder peppers, and a mix of others. The jars are labeled with their contents and arranged on a dark background. The tiny jar on top of the larger ones isn’t labeled. It’s dried biquinho salmao.
